According to my knowledge the response will automaticity crate a excel file in your personal OneDrive. So in this situation you can go to the location of the excel file and right click on it >> versioning history >> go to the previous version

Answer 2

Hello, thank you for your response. Here is what happened:

• I created a form on Microsoft Forms and sent it to people for them to register.
• To create a form for a similar event, I copied the first form to save time.
• I had already received 15 responses for the first event, so I had two forms in front of me:
  • The first event with 15 responses.
  • The second event (2) with 15 responses.
• I deleted the 15 responses from the second event (2) to reset it and be able to modify it.
• However, when I did this, the 15 responses from the initial event were also deleted.

Do you know how I can recover these responses, please? Thank you and have a good day.

• May I know how did you delete the answer? and may I know where the answer was stored before? (typically this should be stored on OneDrive if so please check the OneDreve recycle bin )
• "Based on our testing, we found that deleting the duplicated answer did not delete the original answer in this specific scenario. To better understand your situation, could you please provide us with the steps you took to delete the answer? This will allow us to test on our end and offer you a suggestion. Screenshots would be appreciated.".
