Hi, did you run delete_orphans before delete_course? If not, it does cause some problems. To get around it you can remove the content manually from the django shell (remember there is course content in both mysql and mongo datastores). If you are in a dev environment I suggest reinstalling, its a bit of a mission to remove the orphans. R

cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform

$ sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms dump_course_ids --settings aws

$ sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py cms --settings=aws delete_orphans COURSE_ID --commit

$ sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py cms --settings=aws delete_course COURSE_ID

The following commands worked for ironwood.1

1) Change directory

cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform

2) print all the courses available

sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms dump_course_ids --settings production

3) Delete the course you want to remove

sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py cms --settings=production delete_course "PASTE_THE_COURSE_ID_YOU_WANT_TO_DELETE"
