I copied the everything from a course that I am currently teaching into a course that I will teach next semester. I am trying to delete some of the file folders that I don't need for the upcoming course but there is no delete icon or option for the folders. I can delete files within the folders but not the folders themselves. On the existing help page, it shows a series of icons that includes a trash bin but those do not appear on my screen. How do I access this function?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @sbolman1
You first have to click on the folder in the window so it's highlighted blue, then the toolbar will show with the delete button. If it doesn't I'd try a different browser. It did work for me just now testing in Chrome.

When you have the file you want to delete:
1) to the far right side (next to the publish/unpublish icon) is a "3 dot stack" LEFT click;
2) new menu = "Download, Rename, Move, Delete, Share to Commons"
3) choose "Delete" (or other appropriate).
I just cleaned up my new Canvas course copied over from last term. Hope that helps.
