- See what files are being used in your course and where they are being used
- Find empty folders in the files section of your course and delete them
- View a list of all your Canvas pages, assignments, quizzes or discussions with information about each page and the ability to delete multiple pages at once

(Depending on how much content you have in your course this may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes)
Review and Delete Content
Once you have run the report the first page you will see is a list of all of your files that are not in use that you can review and delete any content that is no longer needed.
