Can I access data from forms that failed to send-"Error: Generic Exception: Error: (404)

[clement.bisai]

Hello
I collected data using a form which was deleted and reuploaded. I attempted to send the forms and realized that they can’t go through. They are in the sent folder however, I can’t open the any of these forms. How can I access that data in the sent folder for forms that failed to be successfully sent?

Regards
Clement
