HOW TO

Delete the ArcGIS Survey123 surveys locally

Last Published: February 24, 2023

Summary

When a survey is published from ArcGIS Survey123 Connect or the ArcGIS Survey123 website, the survey is saved on a local machine and in an ArcGIS organizational account. Deleting surveys from ArcGIS Survey123 Connect or the website deletes all items and data both locally and in the ArcGIS organizational account, including feature services.

In some instances, it is necessary to delete surveys on a local machine while keeping the surveys online when using a public machine.

This article describes the workflow to delete the ArcGIS Survey123 surveys locally without deleting the survey data in an ArcGIS organizational account.

Procedure

  1. Open File Explorer. Refer to Microsoft Support: Find and open File Explorer for instructions.
  2. Navigate to the My Survey Designs folder.
C:/Users/<username>/ArcGIS/My Survey Designs
  1. Right-click the survey folder and click Delete.
The Delete option when right-clicking the folder.
Note:
In the My Survey Designs folder, the unique ID is displayed instead of the survey name. Double-click the folder to ensure the folder contains the survey items to be deleted.
