# DELETE

> Learn how to use the DELETE formula to remove form data, including its format, use cases, and key considerations. By setting main and sub-conditions, you can precisely control which records are deleted—ideal for scenarios such as inventory and shipment management.

Use the DELETE formula to directly delete a specific form record, or to delete a specific subform record within the subform component of a form record (the parent form record itself is retained).

## Format

```javascript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
DELETE(TargetForm, MainCondition, SubCondition)
```

* TargetForm: The target Form whose data will be deleted.

* MainCondition: Identifies which records in the target Form should be deleted. The main condition consists of logical functions.

* SubCondition:

## Use Cases

### Delete an Entire Record in the Target Form Based on a Regular Component in the Entry Form

**Forms used**

* Inventory form: Inventory item (Single-line text)
* Shipment form: Shipped item (Single-line text)

**Requirement**

* The Inventory form stores information about a batch of items. Items are shipped out through the Shipment form.
* The shipped items in the Shipment form come from the inventory items in the Inventory form.
* Each time an item is shipped through the Shipment form, the corresponding item in the Inventory form is deleted.

**Formula configuration details & explanation**

### Delete an Entire Record in the Target Form Based on a Subform Component in the Entry Form

## Considerations

* The main condition and sub-condition are built from logical functions. Except for AND and OR, the first parameter of other logical functions must be a component in the target Form, and the order of the two parameters cannot be swapped.

* The supported scope of the Premium Formula component is as follows.

* There is a limit on the number of records that can be deleted at one time.
