I was wondering if it is possible to exit and delete a form based on a
question that is answered in the form? For example, in the Wits CommCare
application, the clock out form asks students if they have completed a task
(this is a single select yes-or-no type of question) and if they say no I
want the app to exit and delete the form they so that they can return to
the module menu of the application and complete the task before they can
fill in this clock out form.
I'm not aware of a way to force exit of the form based on the answer to a
question, but you could add a label which prevents the user from going
forward. For example, you could create a label which is displayed if the
user answers "no" and set the validation condition to something impossible,
like 1=2. The user would not be able to submit the form and could be
prompted to exit without saving changes.

Depending on the form you can also wrap the majority of the form after that
question in a group with a display condition which disables all questions
after that one. The result will be that the user exits after that question,
and as long as any case updates are contained within the hidden group, they
won't be acted on since those elements were hidden by the display condition.
