Removing media from Media Gallery and from My Media are two very different things. When you remove media from My Media, you are deleting it entirely from the system. When you remove media from Media Gallery, you are unpublishing or hiding it from those in the bCourses course site in which it is visible.
How to delete media from My Media
For instructions on removing media from My Media (that is, permanently deleting it), please see our KB article How can I delete media from My Media?
How to remove media from a Media Gallery
If you have a role (in the bCourses site) of Teacher, Owner, TA, Lead TA, or Designer you can remove any media from the Media Gallery in that Course site. If you have a different role (e.g. Student), you can only remove videos you own from the Media Gallery.
To remove videos from a course site’s Media Gallery in the Media Gallery:
- Make sure you are in the Media Gallery containing the media you wish to remove.
- Hover your pointer over the media you wish to remove.
- Click the “...” (three dots) icon that appears in the lower right of the video
- Click the “x” (“Remove from Channel”) icon.
- At the prompt, click Remove to confirm.
To remove (unpublish) one or more videos that you own from the course site's Media Gallery:
- Go to My Media in the global navigation (vertical navigation bar on the left) of bCourses or MediaSpace.
- Click the checkbox next to each video you wish to remove.
- From the Actions dropdown menu, select Publish.
- Under Publish in Gallery, deselect the checkbox next to each gallery for which you want the video(s) unpublished.
- Click Save.
- At the prompt, click OK to confirm.
Note: you can get to the Publish in Gallery interface (step 4) in a number of other ways, too:
- If you're already on the page for a video that you want to remove already, start with step 3 above.
- If you're already in Edit mode for a video (you see the tabs Details, Publish, Options, and so on), you can go directly to the Publish tab, and then start with step 4 above.
