Deleting Content

Updated on

This article explains how you delete components of the Course Content.

To delete Content you will have to go to the Content page within your course.

  1. Click on the component that you want to delete (the Study Guide for example).
  2. Next, click on the three dots.
  3. Scroll down and click on Delete.

The two delete options

Then, you will get two options:  

  1. "Remove the topic from Content but keep the associated file or activity in the course." This means that the selected Content will only be deleted within the Content page. You will still be able to find the component within Course Tools: Manage Files.
  2. "Permanently delete both the topic from Content and the associated file or activity from the course." When you choose this option, the selected Content will also be deleted within Manage Files. In other words, you will not be able to find the component within the entire Brightspace course.

When you click on the second option, you will see the following warning:

The warning reads again that the selected Content will be permanently deleted within the whole course, and that this cannot be undone.

When you choose the first option, the deleted content is still available within Course Tools: Manage Files. Click here for more info on Manage Files.
