Removing - Deleting multiple Questions in Canvas

[smszymoniak]

Is there anyway to delete more than one question at a time? I just imported a test bank of 123 questions. I know Moodle was very easy to manage the test bank.

Please advise

There is a way to bulk move questions but not delete them, so you could do it indirectly. I suggest creating a new question bank to deposit the questions you want to move and then delete it after you are done. Steps to do so are in the following Canvas Guides documents:

• How do I create a question bank in a course?
• How do I move multiple questions from one question bank to another?
• How do I delete a question bank in a course?

This does not answer the question and so it should not be marked as solved. The idea that you can't delete multiple questions at one time is just a sick joke.

@mprogers ...

I understand what you are saying.  While @ProfessorBeyrer's reply to @smszymoniak does indicate that bulk deleting questions is not possible, Greg did offer a work-around solution that one could try in his/her course.  Thus, I would argue that Greg's response could remain a "Solution" at this time.  If someone else chimes in with another solution different than Greg's, it could certainly be marked as a solution as well.  In the past Canvas Community interface, we had the option of marking responses as "Correct" (and you could only mark one reply in a given thread as "Correct").  In the current Community interface, multiple replies can be marked as a "Solution"...in the event there are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing.

I hope this helps to clarify things for you a bit.
