You can delete options in Google Forms by opening the form in edit mode and removing the unwanted choices directly from the question settings. Here's how:
- Open your Google Form: Go to Google Forms and open the form you want to edit.
- Select the Question: Click on the question containing the options you want to delete.
- Remove the Option: In the question editor, you'll see a list of options. Click the "x" or trash can icon next to the option you wish to remove. This will delete that choice from the available answers.
- Update Required Checkboxes (if applicable): If you are deleting options from a question using checkboxes, make sure you adjust the "Response validation" settings (e.g., "select at least/most") if those options were vital to the existing validation rules.
- Save Changes: Google Forms saves changes automatically, so there's no explicit save button. The deletion is effective immediately.
Making Choices Disappear After Being Selected (Advanced)
If you want an option to disappear after someone selects it (like when options are limited), this requires add-ons or scripting. The provided reference touches on the effect of this, but it's achieved by a script or form add-on that automatically removes the selected option after each submission. This behavior isn't built-in to Google Forms. If you want to implement this functionality you will need to use an add-on or code your own Google Apps Script.
