# Delete and recover a course

## Delete a Course

When you first create a course, its status is **Draft**. At this stage, you can either publish it or delete it. 

To delete a draft course: 

* Open the course. 
* Click on **Actions** (top right). 
* Select **Delete**. 

These steps can be followed to delete published courses as well. Once you click "delete", the course will automatically set as "draft" and moved to the platform recycle bin. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Once deleted, the course can be **recovered** from the platform interface. Also, the corresponding SharePoint page will be moved to your SharePoint recycle bin, making it inaccessible to users.
{% endhint %}

## Recover Deleted Courses

If you’ve deleted a course, you can still recover it via the **Recycle bin.**&#x20;

To recover a course:&#x20;

1. Go to the gear icon (**Settings**) from the left navigation menu.&#x20;
2. Select **Recycle bin.**&#x20;
3. Under **Archived courses**, locate the course.&#x20;
4. Hover the course title — a **recovery icon** will appear. Click it to restore the course.&#x20;

Once restored, the course will reappear in your course list under Company Learnings, with its original title and content.&#x20;
