 * How can I reset the entry numbers. I tried deleting the entries in the database
   but it still does not reset the entries back to 1.
   Is there an option in the 
   database to reset that?

 * Hello [@jimk1416](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimk1416/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * At the moment, there is no option to reset entry numbers in SureForms. The entry
   numbering works the same way as WordPress post IDs. Once an entry ID is generated,
   it will keep increasing and will not reset, even if you delete entries directly
   from the database.
 * This behavior is expected and follows WordPress’s default structure to avoid 
   conflicts or data issues.
 * Please let us know if you have any other questions or need help with anything
   else 🙂
 * Best Regards,
   Avinash
