ODK Aggregate : delete form

Support
1

Hi Friends,
I have a problem with my ODK Aggregate when I delete a form.
I delete a form (option "delete" in Form Managment --> Form List) and in
the first moment it disappears, but after of 1 or 2 days this form
reappears.
I don't know if there are another way for delete a form and it not
reappearing, please.

Thanks,

If the form has a considerable number of records, it will take a while to
delete (because on Google AppEngine, it needs to delete every row, one at a
time).

During this time, the form Id is removed from the list of forms in all
webserver pages.
Also during this time, you are prevented from uploading new form
definitions with that form id (since the old form definition is still
present).

If, after a limited number or retries, the form data cannot be fully
removed, then the form definition will re-appear.

If this happens, it is likely because you have a corrupted submission. You
can repair that submission and re-issue the delete. See

In this case, you don't actually have to repair the record -- you just
need to delete the record with that URI in the form's _CORE table.

Then re-issue the delete, and the deletion attempt to proceed (and either
fail at another bad submission or complete); this will leave some orphaned
data in various tables on your system. Not a big deal and easier than
trying to entirely clean everything.
