This article explains how to remove learning content from the Administrate LMS.
LMS content can include SCORM packages, videos, documents, exams, audio files, or other learning resources that have been uploaded to the Student Portal.
Before You Delete Content
Before removing LMS content, confirm that the material is no longer required for:
- active courses or learning paths
- existing learner progress
- historical training records
Important: LMS content cannot be deleted if learners have already attempted it. This restriction ensures that learner history and reporting data remain accurate and complete.
If content has been used in learner activity, consider removing it from active courses or learning paths instead of deleting it.
Deleting LMS content removes the asset from the portal and prevents learners from launching it in the future.
Delete LMS Content
- Open the Control Panel.
- Search for and open LMS.
- Locate the learning content you want to remove.
- Open the item.
- Select Delete.
If the Delete option is not available, it typically means the content has already been used by learners and cannot be removed.
Impact of Deleting Content
When LMS content is deleted:
- learners can no longer access the learning material
- the item is removed from the LMS content library
- any course or learning path referencing the content may require updates
Historical training records are not removed, but the associated learning asset will no longer be accessible.
Recommended Practice
If the content may be needed again in the future, consider removing it from active courses or learning paths instead of deleting it entirely.
This preserves the learning asset while preventing new learners from accessing it, while also maintaining accurate reporting and learner history.
