Cannot Delete Old Courses

[jonnycomes]

Hello,

I'm unable to delete old runestone courses. When I click on Delete from the Instructor Page for the course, I either get a 504 Gateway Time-out, or an Internal error

Ticket issued: runestone/198.60.192.201.2023-08-18.17-17-47.495be19a-343f-4cdf-a028-27bfd681e740

This is happening for every old course I try to delete. Most are fopp courses, but not all. Here are a few of the specific course I'd like to delete:

fopp courses:

CSC-150-TH-22Spring CSC-150-MWF-22Spring CSC-150-TH-21Fall CSC-150-MWF-21Fall

Blue Book Course:

I am having the same issue. Thank you!

Deleting a course deletes everything about that course including all student work. There are many many foreign keys in the database that causes cascades of deletes. As we have added new question types to the database we have not kept pace in the delete course controller.

If you are trying to delete the old courses for student privacy reasons, I can work on manually deleting what needs to be deleted. If you are just trying to clean up your course list you can simply unenroll yourself.

Thanks Brad!

No need to work on deleting anything. I will remove any assignments I want to be private before unenrolling.
