Once you have created a group set, you can edit it at any time. Editing a group set allows you to change the group set name, create self sign-up groups, and assign a student group leader.
If self sign-up is allowed, you can also set or change the number of group members allowed in a group, but changing a member limit will apply to all groups in your group set. You can modify the limitations within an individual group, such as changing one group to allow a few more members than the other groups. However, at a later time if you decide to edit the entire group set and change the group set limitations, Canvas will override all member limitations created within individual groups.
You can delete a group set from your course if necessary. Deleting a group set also deletes all groups within that set.
Notes:
In Course Navigation, click the People link.
Click the name of the group set.
In the group set, click the Options menu [1], then click the Edit link [2].
Make edits as necessary to the group set. When you are finished, click the Save button.
In the group set, click the Options menu [1], then click the Delete link [2].
Click the OK button.

Once you delete a course, the course will be completely removed from your institution's account and will not be viewable by you, prior students, or the account administrator. We do not recommend deleting courses, especially if the course contains content and student data because you may need to access that information a later date.
If you only want to remove the course from Courses & Groups in the Global Navigation, you can change the course end date, or if you have permission, conclude your course instead.
Notes:
In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.
Click the Delete this Course link.
Note: Deleting a course is a permission enabled by your admin. If you do not see this button, you do not have permission to delete your course.
Click the Delete Course button.
Note: Before you delete your course, make sure you have a record of your Course ID number. Administrators can restore deleted courses if they know the Course ID number. You can locate your Course ID number at the end of your course URL (i.e. canvas.instructure.com/courses/XXXXXX).
