I need help deleting courses out of Canvas to clean up the site. How do I bulk delete over 2000 courses that are no longer being used? They do not have SIS codes.

I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…

I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
