where is the root file?

Canvas is a great LMS in many ways, but it has this tenaciousness with regard to assignments and files after course content has been imported between two Canvas sites. I might delete an assignment from the module, but it is STILL THERE somewhere, popping up as an assignment that is still due for students. I might go into assignments in order to delete that unwanted thing there, but it will STILL pop up from some nether region of the software. I'm a little tired of playing whack-a-mole, and wish that Canvas would trust that instructor to be confident in deleting something the first time, from anywhere within the course site, and have that deletion carry forward throughout the course site. 

 

So the question is: where is the root file? Where is the mole's main site of residence? If I can go THERE and delete the thing in question only once, that would save me a lot of duplicate work.
