 * Hi,
 * How can I permanently delete (as in remove from the database) submissions that
   are in the trash?

 * I’m wondering this same thing, too…. It would be much more convenient built into
   the ‘trash’ screen than having to dig into the DB.
 * Did a lot of testing that I don’t want to leave around for my client.
 * Otherwise, thanks for a great plugin! Got it to work perfectly.

 * This will most likely be the next feature we will release.

 * So happy to hear you will add this!
 * It would be awesome if there could also be an option to not save the submissions
   at all for certain forms if one doesn’t need that feature.
 * Thank you for working on this, it is a great plugin!
