This has been discussed before, notably in bug 2245. There is no way to delete a section (e.g. week or topic) from a Moodle course. There seems to be general agreement that this is A Good Thing, but I can't really see why. I understand the argument that you don't want the teacher deleting a populated section by accident, but you can't even delete an empty section.
The usual workaround is to move the offending section to the bottom of the course page, and reduce the number of sections the course displays. However, bug 4719 indicates the drawbacks in this approach. If a teacher wants to add a new section by increasing this number, the "deleted" block reappears. This is irksome.
If a teacher/editor has powers to delete a resource or activity, shouldn't they have the power to delete an entire section? You are asked for confirmation in cautionary terms every time you attempt to delete a resource, so why not have the same for a section, e.g. "Are you absolutely sure you want to completely delete the section 'foo'?"

New Feature
OOooof, if there ever was a time that I wanted to stuff a ballot box, this is it.
This has just generated a real, and ridiculous, problem for me.
In a course, a fellow administrator wrongheadedly added a bunch of new topics to the course, like 10 of them, thinking that new material would be added.
He was wrong. But these topics are interspersed throughout the course. To delete these 10 topics, I am going to (1) move each of them to the bottom one topic at a time, one step at a time – because there is no "move to this location box" feature for moving topics? ... and then do the silly limit-the-number-of-topics feature?
I'm hoping there is some other way – but this could be hours of ridiculous clicking, to delete 10 topics?
thx
