How do I delete multiple Sub-Accounts using a Canvas provided report?

We are looking to delete hundreds of unused sub-accounts in our system that were created during our initial implementation.  I seem to remember that there was a way to run a report, edit the report, and then use the SIS import tool to import the file back into Canvas to have the sub-accounts deleted.

Can anyone confirm that this is possible, and if so, how I would go about doing this?

Thanks!

I have not personally deleted sub-accounts this way, but I believe you'll just needed to run the Accounts CSV (in the Provisioning report), change the status from "active" to "deleted", and then upload the revised file using SIS Import.

SIS Import formats: SIS Import Format Documentation - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
