Delete Content Items

1. Go to your course home page and click Content from the course navigation.
   

2. Check the box of the items you want to delete then click the Delete Selected Items icon.
   

3. Select whether you want to “delete selected items from content only” or “delete items from content and delete all associated files from the course files” then click Delete Selected.
   NOTE: If you choose to delete selected items from content only, it will only remove the content from the content area, but not from the course files. That means you can still reuse them later. If you choose to delete items from content and delete all associated files from the course files option, the items will be removed from both the content area and the course files. Using this option, you will no longer be able to access the content.
