Details

When a Form is deleted, it goes into the Trash section, but it can now be restored from the Trash with form_restore(). After 30 days in the Trash, the Form and all of its resources and Submissions will be automatically purged. If the goal is to prevent the Form from showing up on survey clients like ODK Collect, consider setting its state to closing or closed instead (see form_update()).
