Delete a form

Destructive
Jetpack Backup & Site Management jetpack-forms/delete-form

Move a Jetpack Forms form to the trash.

Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.

What it does

This ability moves a single Jetpack Forms form to the trash by ID. It does not permanently delete the form — trashed forms can still be restored — but is marked destructive because it removes the form from active use. It delegates to the DELETE /wp/v2/jetpack-forms/{id} REST endpoint internally.
