# Purging Data

**Purge** allows you to **permanently** delete any unwanted records including associated media files, notification history and jobs (even if the job hasn’t been completed).

-   In order to enable purge, you must first log into your WorkMobile account, go into the Studio and select **Forms** from within the left-hand menu and select the form you require.
-   From within the **Form Dashboard**, select **View Data** where you should now see a list of completed record entries.
-   Select **Enable Purge**

-   You now have the option to individually select each record by ticking the **Purge** check boxes. If you have a large amount of records to select, it may be easier to click **Select All** then untick any records you wish to retain.

-   If you choose **not** to **Select All** then you can individually tick the records you wish to erase. If you have any job data that requires purging then select the **Include Job Data for Purge** checkbox.

**Please Note – It may be worth checking through each row of data to see if you have ticked the correct boxes, otherwise you may lose important data and once it is gone, it’s gone.**

-   When you are ready to delete your data, select **Purge Data**

-   Once you have selected **Yes**, you will be asked to enter your password. After you have done this, hit **confirm**.
