Removing attachments from updated form versions

Hi all - Apologies for the simplicity of the question. Fairly unsophisticated user here. I'm struggling to remove attachments from updated versions of forms. It's easy enough to upload are attachments as needed, but how do I remove them without deleting the form entirely and re-initiating? Many thanks in advance -

Hey @GMERC ! :waving_hand:

If your updated version of a form still uses or displays the attachment you're trying to remove, you’ll first need to go into the XLSForm and remove the part that depends on that attachment.

Once that’s done, you can update the form on ODK Central by creating a new draft and publishing it. ODK Central will then automatically clean up and remove any unused attachments in the new version. Nice and tidy!

Note: No data will be lost during this process. Just make sure the form design reflects your current needs before publishing.

Have a great day ahead! :smile:
