Delete Button Missing (all others present) trying to delete pages and modules and headers

KelbyMunson

I have followed the directions in Canvas to delete modules, pages, etc.  However, I'm having a problem.  The delete option is not there for me to click.  All of the other options are there.  

I have followed the directions given by Canvas to the letter.  Why would the delete option not be showing up?

Can you check your course ID, then add api/v1/courses/COURSE_ID/permissions to the end of the base URL of your canvas instance?

That should list all your permissions to the course, you can see if you have "manage_course_content_delete" as true or false, that may be the relevant permission.
I realize that the "Course Content - delete" permission in the Canvas Course Role Permissions document does not list course modules (as @Chris_Hofer noted), but that permission's description seems to be complete nonsense, as none of the "What it does" column mentions "delete" at all (why would that permission "allow user to access the chat tool"?).
