I'm not going into further details, but those forms were there to accomplish some legal duty and each submission contained a lot of very personal information. The reason to delete those forms would always be that they were either created by error or that eventually they wouldn't be useful anymore.
But you are right that it could have been two features : one to delete all submissions then one to delete the form. That was one of my suggestions but it didn't pass some leadership / design validation.

There are some reasons I'm not working there anymore :) It was a good company on many aspects but not this one.
