Default Removing contents of a table but not the table

I have a form for change/ update requests. When the user fills in the form,
the data goes into a table. I don't wish for the table to grow as it takes up
weight.
I would like the table's contents to be removed either when users exit from
the application or close the form.

What is the best approach?

Thanks Joy

Run a delete query against the table either when you close the app or when
you open it.

If you don't need to save the data then why not just create a Word form to fill in?
