# How to Delete or Sunset a Form

### Before you begin (Prerequisites)

* **Permissions**: You must be an **Administrator**, **Supervisor**, **Manager**, **Support**, or **Account Rep**. See: [How to Manage Users and Permissions](/products/control-panel-overview/admin-overview/manage-roles-permissions.md).
* **Existing Form**: The form you want to remove must already exist.

### Instructions

#### Delete a Form

1. Navigate to [**ENGAGE > Survey & Forms > Manage Forms**](https://control.peoplevine.com/surveys).
2. Locate the form and click the **Menu** button (blue) to open its Form Detail page.
3. Click **DELETE**.

> **Note**: You can only delete a form if it has no submissions. Once a form has received at least one response, the **DELETE** button is hidden and the form cannot be deleted.

#### Set Up a Redirect for an Old Vanity URL

If the form had a vanity URL, set up a redirect so visitors land on the replacement page instead of a dead link. See: [How to Create a Vanity URL](/products/control-panel-overview/admin-overview/create-vanity-url.md).

### Best Practice

Before deleting a form, check whether it is attached to any experiences (events, applications, portal pages). Remove or update those references first to avoid showing members a broken link. See: [How to Attach a Form to Another Experience](/products/control-panel-overview/forms-overview/attach-form-to-portal.md).

### What Happens Next

* **On the system side**: The form is removed and no longer accepts new submissions. If a vanity URL redirect is configured, visitors to the original URL are sent to the specified destination.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.peoplevine.com/products/control-panel-overview/forms-overview/sunset-form.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
