How to delete uploaded files in Formfacade?

This is a common question from people whose form collects resumes or other private documents. You may need to remove them once you are done. In Google Forms the uploaded files stay in your Google Drive and deleting a response does not delete its files, so you have to find each file and delete it by hand. With Formfacade, you can permanently delete the uploaded files using the Move to Trash option for the responses in the RESPONSES tab. The response and its files go together, so there is nothing left to hunt for. Even better, the files stay out of your Drive unless you choose to copy them there.

Let's start. Create your form and follow the steps below.
