When using the Form Block to collect Data Input from Users, the Data is accessible as Reports here: /dashboard/reports/forms
When i delete a Form from the site, the data stays there which is the way it should be in my opionion. (Deleting the Data at this point would certainly lead to important Data beeing deleted by accident.)
However. - There does not seem to be a way to clean up the reports and get rid of Form Data Sets that are not used anymore/ outdated or obsolete for other reasons.
So for example when a inapt author creates multiple forms for the same thing, creates an "extra" form instead of editing/ reusing an existing one or simply renames a form multiple times it's gona clutter up the Form Data Report with meaningless and/ or empty records.
Also if the Form creation fails for some reason. (I've experienced it with this Bug: http://www.concrete5.org/developers/bugs/8-2-1/adding-many-form-elements-at-once-raises) It's gona create a empty record set and there is no way to get rid of it.
For Non- technical Users that need to work with the form Data, this can be very confusing.
I suggest adding some functionality to the Form Data Reports view, to at least Delete and Rename Sets of Form Data so things can be kept clean & orderly.

These are Express objects so the data can actually be removed from Dashboard > System and Settings > Express > Data Objects.
This is a bit counterintuitive however, since you might not know that these "express objects" under the hood. Perhaps a link over to the express data objects settings dashboard page.
Alright. - This works. Thanks for the hint!
I agree, that a Link from the Form Data Reports to the correspondant Express Entity would be a nice thing to have and certainly would make it more intuitive.
