# How do I delete a quiz?

You can delete quizzes from your course.

**Notes**:

<div id="bkmrk-deleting-a-quiz-will"><div>- Deleting a quiz will remove it completely from your course. If you would rather hide the quiz or make it inaccessible to submissions, you can lock the quiz or modify the access dates. If the quiz has no student submissions, you can unpublish the quiz.
- When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, you cannot delete individual quizzes for any student, group, or section in a closed grading period.
