# Disqualifying Individual Responses

Not every response is a qualified response. Our tool epowers you to clean your collected data, by enabling you to disqualify individual responses. These could be responses that aren’t finished, don’t give any insight, or those that you may have accidentally entered while testing the questionnaire.

SurveyLegend enables you to clean your collected data, by hiding individual respondents which are not qualified.

You can easily disqualify a respondent by going to [My Surveys](https://app.surveylegend.com/my-surveys/) dashboard, and clicking on the Individual Responses button.

In the “individual responses” view, simply click on the respondent that you want to remove from your data. Then go to the Manage tab, and from there, click on Disqualify this participant

## Disqualified respondents can be restored

The good thing with disqualifying a respondent is that you can still see how they answered your questions from “Individual responses” view. However, their responses and inputs will not be reflected in the [Live Analytics](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/live-analytics/) view, where you see a visualized overview of all your respondents.

To restore a disqualified response, go to the “individual responses” view, and open the filter dropdown. and then select the “Disqualified” item from the list.

All\
Submitted\
Incomplete\
Disqualified

Then select the disqualified respondent from the list and go to the Manage tab, and from there, click on Restore this participant

Note:

You can also permanently delete an already disqualified respondent.
