I accidentally course copied from the wrong course. How do I clear out everything so I can try again?
Unfortunately D2L lacks an easy way for instructors to return a course shell to its initial, empty state. Instructors will need to manually remove everything from the course. Alternatively, instructors may request a D2L admin perform a course reset to empty a course shell by creating a request through the IT Help Desk.
These instructions assume you have already logged in to D2L and entered the course in which you wish to work.
