Abstract
An image forming apparatus forms an image on a printing medium based on a print job, and includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the image forming apparatus to perform operations including performing control so that in a case where a print job associated with a user charged by using a charging device is printed, an already-printed job for which printing has been completed is deleted after the printing has been completed, and performing control so that in a case where a print job associated with a user not charged by using the charging device is printed, the already-printed job for which printing has been completed is not deleted after the printing has been completed.
