  5. Click the number in the
    Usage
    column of the
    Manage Feedback Questions
    report to find out what templates currently use the question.
  6. To delete a question, select
    Delete Question
    from the
    Edit Question
    drop-down.
    You can only delete questions that haven't been used in a feedback event (marked
    No
    in the
    Used in Feedback
    column).
You can add your questions to feedback templates.
You can have a question that's not being used in a feedback template but you're unable to delete it. You can create a question, add it to a template and use it in a feedback event, and then later remove the question from the template. In this case, the
Usage
column indicates zero and the
Used in Feedback
column indicates
Yes
. Although the
Usage
column indicates that the question isn't currently used in a template, you can't delete the question because it's been used in a past feedback event.
