I need to edit my form, but I'm worried that if I remove any fields the data already gathered using the form will have those bits deleted - is this the case? Thanks.

If I remove fields on my form will that also delete the data in the database?

Yes, that's the case. You will see this confirmation message when you attempt to delete a field from a form:
"Warning! Deleting this field will also delete all entry data associated with it. 'Cancel' to stop. 'OK' to delete."

The best thing to do for fields you want to remove that have data you don't want to lose is to set the field visibility to Admin Only under the Advanced tab when editing the field. This way the field data will be retained, but the user will no longer see that field.
