This article explains how to delete a test attempt in your system, whether it’s a regular or suspended attempt. Deleting an attempt can be useful if a candidate submitted a test by mistake, if the attempt contains errors, or if you need to reset the test for another try.
How to enable data deletion in the system
Before any attempt can be deleted, the system must be allowed to remove data. To do so, follow these steps:
- Navigate to System > Settings and customization.
- Navigate to the System preferences tab.
- Select the Additional modules setup
Toggle the “Allow delete data” option ON.
How to delete an attempt

- Go to the Candidates tab.

How to Delete a suspended attempt

- In the Candidates page, click Filter.
- Enable Show suspended attempts.
- Click on Apply.
Once the suspended attempts are visible, click on the three dots under the Actions column for the desired attempt, then select Delete.
