I have deleted a couple of forms and data from aggregate form management. However, in AppEngine datastore admin, I see they all are still in datastore although no longer visible on aggregate. Do I need to delete them again? Also, same problem with form_data_model file. How to get rid of old forms' details from this file?
Form deletion takes time, especially if you have many submissions. When you
delete a form, it marks it as "being deleted" and hides it from the user
interface until it either is successfully deleted (in which case it won't
be shown) or until the deletion attempt fails for some reason (in which
case it will re-appear).
Because AppEngine has no DROP TABLE command, we must scan the table and
issue individual DELETE ROW instructions.
We split that task up into smaller chunks, and delete a few rows at a time
(e.g., 100), with a pause of 30 seconds to several minutes between deletes.
This conserves your usage quota on AppEngine, but makes the whole process
incredibly slow.
