How to I delete practice courses and "sandbox" courses from my dashboard? I don't want to see them there everyday?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would recommend looking at this lesson on How do I customize my Courses list as an instructor?

It does not resolve the issue.
@CarmenLatorre-P Welcome to the Canvas community! The request was to hide the course from the dashboard, which the instructions @Robbie_Grant provided will do the trick. Are you wanting to delete the course altogether? If your institution allows you to delete courses (many do not), then if you go to the course settings, on the right side of the screen, is a delete course option.
Is there something else you are trying to accomplish?

Hi:
I'm trying to delete a sandbox course I created for the self paced course I took. I've tried several of the solutions here and none have worked
And I quote the request: "How to I delete practice courses and "sandbox" courses from my dashboard? I don't want to see them there everyday" Delete is not the same as hide.
I believe myself and others have interpreted "delete from dashboard" as "Hide" since the dashboard is just easy access to the course. Especially when it was followed with " I don't want to see them there everyday" as this sounds like they don't want them gone, they just don't want to see them everyday.
Are you using the free for teachers version of Canvas or does your school have a Canvas account? Either way, if you have the permissions to delete a course, open the course, and click on "Settings", you will then see options on the right side of the screen and one is to "Delete this course"
If you are part of a school that has Canvas, they may have the ability to delete courses turned off and you would need to contact your Canvas admin to then delete it.
