Live Form - Ability to delete all submissions at once instead of one page at a time.

Like the title says. 

It's a pain to have to page through form submissions one page at a time, select them and then delete.. and then do it all again. Just need to be able to delete all at once.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to support this just like exporting all submissions in one click. It works great for those forms with few hundred submission, but when we're dealing we hundreds of thousands of submissions then that the SQL operation times out.

Hi Mandeep

You're saying that a person clearing out hundreds of thousands of Live Form submissions has to do it 50 at a time. That's a lifetime job right there.

Regardless, perhaps let us delete a few hundred at a time by increasing the page size up from the 50 it allows. A page size of 500 would be more manageable. Or is the problem that the UI can't handle 

I had to delete about 3500 on the day I made this suggestion and it was a silly task. Being able to do 500 a time would have meant 7 instead of 70 operations and would have been ok. There must be a number that is more than 50 and wont cause a timeout.

Regards
Rob

Rob,
The pagesize has been increased in upcoming Live Forms 5; perhaps, we can give an option to change the pagesize in future. That would likely make more sense.
