    I found it.

    To locate the delete function, hover over your course then click on the three dots ... to see the delete function.

  • Glad you were able to identify that Tom :) Thanks for sharing. Here's a brief demo for anyone that runs across this in the future.

  • How to I delete a course that I been given access to as a collaborator...but I no longer want to keep on my account.  It seems that I can only delete "owned" courses.

  • Hi Brent,

    Great question.

    You are correct, at this time you can only delete the courses that you own. 

    We have submitted this as a feature request to our team and I will be sure to add your comment to the report so that we can track both user need and so that we can update you here if we implement :)

  • Following up on this thread to see if this enhancement has been considered. We have had a course creator leave our organization and are unable to delete the course as the creator's account has been deactivated.

      Hi Elyse,

      If your organization has Articulate 360 Teams type accounts, someone in your organization is the Articulate 360 Teams Administrator.

      This Teams Administrator can transfer all courses of the employee that has left to another current team member, who will become the new owner and will be able to delete the course.

  • Related to this blog, does someone can clarify the following situation?

    A course owner has add me as course manager. Then I have add another collabotrator to the course. Me, as course owner could delete the course from my "all courses" tab. And the collaborator I added could delete it from his "all course" tab too. Nevertheless, the course and all the inputs from the manager and the collabotrator, stills survive on the owner "all courses" tab. Is this what the concept of remove a ciurse is menat for?

    Related to this... neither the collaborator nor the manager "deleted courses" tab has a copy of their deleted courses, to be restore. It looks like only the courses deleted by the ownwe can be restored from the "deleted courses" tab right?

    Thanks in advance,

    Roberto

      Hi Roberto! Only course owners have the capability to delete courses. A course manager can't edit labels, transfer ownership, set a share password, or delete the course.  Can you confirm if you are able to delete a course where you have been assigned as a course manager?

  • Hi Lea, Thanks for your quick answer.

    Assuming different roles I have confirmed that course managers and collaborators can only delete their view and access to the course, not leaving a copy on their "deleted items" folder. Nevertheless, the course still is available for the owner. If the owner deletes the course it does go to the "deleted items" folder. The owner can recover the course from there if needed. 

    If the course manager or collaborator deleates their view and access to a course, their automatically dissapear from the owner`s collaborators list of the course.
