Rkaiser108 If you mean without the two spaces highlighted in yellow in the following screenshot, it is necessary to remove the protection from the form and then delete those spaces
If you mean spaces such as those highlighted in yellow in this screen shot, they indicate that the data was entered into those FormFields while the document was not protected. They can be deleted with the form protect as they are actually in the FormFields.
