Hi Glenn,

May I confirm once again whether the user deleted a form and then he/she also cleared it within the Deleted forms? You can ask your user to go to Microsoft Form > Deleted Forms and double check:

  • If the form is still there, the user can select More Options > Restore to recover it
  • But if he/she already deleted it from Deleted Forms, that form is permanently deleted, including its responses, and there is no available option to recover even through Microsoft 365 admin recovery.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out again in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I'm looking forward to your reply.
