How do I delete poll results from cloud?

The files in a cloud recording of a meeting are showing us that the results of the polls we conducted are not anonymous as we thought them to be. Is there a way to delete these files from the account to protect the privacy of those who participated, without deleting the entire meeting recording?

Hey @siobhanmccann, to my knowledge with the "Save Poll Results Shared in Meeting/Webinar" setting enabled from https://zoom.us/profile/setting > Recording, there is no way to remove poll results after the meeting has been recorded and uploaded to the cloud. Suggest disabling the setting before starting your meeting and initiating a cloud recording.

I have the same situation as the OP: sensitive poll results that were not truly anonymous. I've deleted all recordings and the meeting itself, but it is still possible to generate the poll report. I find this to be a serious breach of security and privacy in Zoom. How do we get Zoom to address this?
