Delete Course Folder and Documents

If you have created a folder by mistake or want to clean up folders and files at the end of the term, use this function. This will remove the folder and all documents and cannot be undone! Due to the irreversable nature of this action (and the inconvenience that would result if done by mistake), this process takes two steps - one to enable the deletion and one to actually do it.

To enable deletion:

1. If you have not done so already, access the webdrop program at: https://webdrop.d.umn.edu. You will need to authenticate using your x.500 username and password
2. Click the link "Manage Available course folders"
3. Choose the appropriate course by clicking the radio button to the left of the course identifier
4. Click the "Open Course Folder" button
5. Enable deletion by selecting the radio button to the left of "Enable Course Folder Deletion For This Course Only"
6. Click the "Submit" button
7. Click the "Web Dropfolder Main Page" link to return to the main page and do the next step of the process

To complete the deletion:

1. Click the link "Manage Available course folders"
2. Choose the appropriate course by clicking the radio button to the left of the course identifier
3. Click the "Open Course Folder" button
4. Select the "Delete Course Folder and all Documents" option by clicking the radio button to the left of the option
5. Click the "Submit" button
6. You will get a confirmation message
7. Click the "Web Dropfolder Main Page" link to return to the main page
