Whether it’s due to the end of a semester, a change in course, or simply wanting to declutter your account, deleting a class in Google Classroom is a straightforward process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to delete classes in Google Classroom.
Step 1: Accessing Google Classroom
Before you can delete a class, you must first access Google Classroom. To do this, follow these steps:

Now that you are on the main classroom dashboard, locate the class you want to delete. Here’s how to find it:
1. Scroll through the list of classes on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the class name to open it.

Step 4: Deleting the Class from Your Dashboard
After you have deleted the class, it will no longer appear in your list of classes on the main classroom dashboard. However, if you want to remove the class from your account entirely, follow these additional steps:
1. Go back to the main classroom dashboard.
2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner.
