Hi, Is this still the definitive way of deleting courses in EDX Studio?
https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PLAT/How+to+Delete+a+Course also seems to suggest CLI commands. It seems a bit weird that you can create courses via the EDX Web UI - but you can't delete them, and need to run arcane CLI on the server itself to delete them... I just setup an EDX instance for my wife to play around with and she was completely stumped on how to delete courses, and Google pointed me here. Does anybody know if we added proper functionality to delete courses in EDX Studio yet since 2014?
