How do you handle/delete distribution test data?

We are new to Qualtrics. We have a fairly rigorous testing plan that included hundreds of test distributions. I have deleted the distributions from the UI, but the data still remains in the data layer, other than using a date filter have you figured out a way to delete the test data?

Best way is to fetch all response ids which are test and delete using json file in postman or data delete api

@Sally_Vallat, You should include an embedded data field that signifies a test response from a test distribution. The easiest way to delete the test data is to do as @AdamBoston said and delete all the test responses (as well as the test distributions) before you do any real distributions. The embedded data field provides a backup in case there is any overlap. You can go to Data & Analysis and filter for test responses and delete them.
