Deleting Archived Items
You can delete items permanently from your archive if you feel you need to reduce clutter or save disk space. Keep in mind that deleted items are gone for good. If there is any chance you may need to access that assignment, course, or student grade again, it's best to keep it in archived materials where you can retrieve it for later use.
Caution: It's strongly recommended that you adhere to the system default selections and prompts when deleting items. For example, say you archive an entire course but later delete some of its assignments. If you later retrieve that course, its Gradebook records will reflect only the remaining assignments and won't match other course records you might have. Delete only those items you are certain you will never need again.
