Deleting Items in Bulk

Deleting items in bulk should be done with caution. It can be useful when a course needs to be emptied and redeveloped, such as if a Course Copy needs to be redone or the course Instructor is reassigned. Please contact the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning for assistance if you have any questions prior to deleting materials in bulk.

Note:  Any information deleted during the Batch Edit operation cannot be recovered. It is important to create an export of materials or an archive of student data first, so, should the need arise, the course can be restored to its exact state before items were deleted.

Delete Multiple Items Using Batch Edit

  1. Click the three dots (...) menu on the right, above the course content list
  2. Click Batch Edit from the menu
  3. Click the checkbox for one or multiple content items (the value at the bottom of the page updates to reflect the number of items selected)
  4. Click the Delete Items button
  5. Click the Delete button in the pop-up message to confirm that you want to delete the items
