Deleting course in Edx Studio sandbox

[vikas pagar]

I have Edx sandbox running on our dev server. We have created random courses for testing purpose. I want to delete these courses now but I can't find any setting or button or help online or backed commands . Please guide.

If it's acceptable you can simply "hide" the listing of the course on the catalog page. There's a similar discuss right now on the mailing list with tips on how to do that, see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/edx-code/e5EWAc-3NQ8

There is a Django admin command that you can run if you SSH onto a server machine, you can see this at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/edx-code/e5EWAc-3NQ8

Good luck,

I have through above posts but it say to hide courses. But when still can see them in studio after setting visibility to none. I want to completely remove them from db as well

Right, then you best bet is to follow what John Eskew describes up above. Just note that removing the course *will not* (or so I believe) remove any student state associated with the course which is stored in the MySQL database. However you will no longer see it in the course catalog in the LMS as well as not seeing it in Studio.
