I wanted to highlight two new features that Nafundi has added to ODK
Collect v1.4.4 to increase data safety -- delete after send and forced
form saves. If you haven't upgraded already, now is a great time!
In ODK Collect v1.4.4 , you can now automatically delete finalized
forms and accompanying multimedia after submission. This feature is
useful for campaigns collecting sensitive data (e.g., patient records)
or multimedia that uses a lot of space (e.g., high resolution video).
Delete after send is disabled by default and can be turned on in
General Settings.
ODK Collect v1.4.4 also includes support for a saveIncomplete() form
attribute that enables a forced form save on any prompt (e.g., right
at the end of a major module). To trigger this save, add the
saveIncomplete attribute to a prompt's bind and the form will save
when that prompt becomes visible. The form XML looks like this:
If you use XLSForm to design your forms, you will soon be able to add
bind::saveIncomplete as a column and enable saveIncomplete that way.

finally i managed to get tested in my survey, but i have a question....
about the deletion after send ...
As I see the deletion after send is from "Edit Saved Form" List.
Is it possible to do this for "Delete Saved Form" List ??? Where this list
is filled up with the forms.. ? Why this list is filled with send forms if
i can't do anything with them. I believe that the right procedure is to
deleted also from this list...
Is it an easy procedure to implement that ?
Waiting your comments
Best Regards

Once you have the "delete sent forms" checked, then they would be deleted
after they are sent, so the only forms that would appear in the "Delete
Saved Forms" list would be the not-yet-completed forms, or the
not-yet-successfully-sent forms.
Of course, upon first configuring this, you must go through and delete the
already-successfully-sent forms manually.
This is not done automatically, and doing so is against our design
philosophy:
We always preserve data by default.
So if you do not take actions to delete data, we don't make assumptions and
infer that the software should.

i have done the following procedure but when i send the form, i'm still
see the instance
in file explorer
In "Delete Saved Forms" button
In "Send Finalized Form" button (if i choose to change View and see Sent
and Unsent)
Is it something i'm doing wrong... ???
The same behavior i see in ODK Collect 1.4.4 (1045) from google play...
Thanks

Something seems broken about the "delete after send" feature. I have this
option checked and yet the finalized form instances keep appearing. As
Panos wrote I also see the instance via
file explorer
"Delete Saved Forms" button
"Send Finalized Form" button (be sure to use menu....Change View...Sent
and Unsent)
