My Media in bCourses (and in Mediaspace) now provides a "Recycle Bin" feature that allows you to delete media you own with an option to restore later (within 30 days of being deleted). If you don’t want to wait 30 days for media to be fully and permanently deleted, it’s just a few steps to go into the Recycle Bin and delete from there. Our article on deleting has been updated to document the process.
In parallel, we’ve also changed our Kaltura configuration so it is now possible for you to fully delete media that is published. (Previously, if you removed media that was embedded in a bCourses page, Kaltura didn’t recognize that the media had been unpublished, and you’d be unable to delete it from My Media without RTL’s assistance).
These changes will ensure that you can always delete content you own, while at the same time providing a safety mechanism (Recycle Bin) to ensure that accidental deletions don’t result in undesirable loss of content. (Course Capture instructors: Please note that for Course Capture recordings, instructors are not technically “Owners”, so aren’t able to delete their Course Capture recordings on their own. If you want your Course Capture recordings deleted, use our Course Capture Deletion Request form.)
