# Automatically delete submission data on mobile devices

## Overview

If you're an **admin** of your account, you can set up your submission data to be automatically deleted from mobile devices after a certain time period. This can help save local storage space on your team's mobile devices.

Don't worry, this won't delete the submissions permanently -- you can still access them through the Portal. This process will remove the submissions from your mobile devices. 

## How to Configure Automatic Deletion of Submission Data

To change the duration that submission data is stored on mobile devices:

1. Go to **Account** > **Company Settings** in the left navigation menu of the **Portal**.
2. Under the **General** tab, you'll see **Delete Submitted Forms on Device**. Adjust the length of time that submissions are stored on devices by selecting an option from the drop-down menu.

Select **Save** once you've made your selection.
