# Delete an Attached Survey

If a survey was attached to a program activity in error or is no longer needed, you can remove it from the Evaluation section.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CAUTION:** Deleting a survey will also delete any responses that have been added. Once survey data has been deleted, it cannot be recovered.
{% endhint %}
