Cleaning up your digital library keeps your workspace efficient and saves you from picking outdated assessments by mistake. If you need to remove an assessment you created or duplicated, you can do it directly from your library in just a few clicks.
Log in to your account, navigate to your library, locate the specific item, and select the delete option from the resource menu. Keep in mind that removal is permanent. Once you confirm, the item disappears from your collections, active reports, and search visibility.
Navigating to Your Quizizz Library
Before you can remove any assessment, you need to find where your saved materials live. The platform organizes all teacher-generated and duplicated content in a centralized storage area.
- Open your web browser, go to the Quizizz official website, and log in to your account.
- Look at the left-hand navigation pane on your dashboard.
- Click on My library to view every assessment, lesson, and flashcard set associated with your profile.
If you share an account or co-teach classes, make sure you're logged into the specific profile that originally created or saved the content. You can't remove items owned by other instructors unless you have duplicate copies in your own personal workspace.
Locating and Selecting the Quiz
Once you're inside your library, finding the right assessment takes only a moment. You can scroll through your recent creations or use the search bar at the top of your library page.
- Scan your resource cards or type the title into the search filter.
- Click directly on the title card of the assessment you want to remove.
- This opens the detailed resource view, where you can preview questions, edit content, or configure settings.
Don't click the "Start" or "Assign" buttons by accident. You need the main overview page of the resource itself to access the deletion settings.
Executing the Deletion Process
After opening the resource page, the final removal steps are straightforward, though the interface hides the option behind a menu icon to prevent accidental clicks.
- Look near the top of the resource page, specifically between the Preview and Save buttons.
- Click on the three-dot icon to open the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down through the menu options until you find Delete.
- Click Delete, and a confirmation dialog box will appear on your screen.
- Click Confirm to permanently erase the assessment from your workspace.
Once you confirm, the platform strips the resource from your library, active collections, student reports, and any internal search results.
Handling Collections and Shared Folders
If you organized your assessments into folders or collections, removing a file from your main library usually clears it out, but it's smart to double-check your organizational structures.
To remove an item from a specific collection without deleting the entire resource, open your library and find the My collections section at the bottom left. Select the target collection, click the three-dot icon on the resource card, and select Remove. Confirm the action to clear it from that folder while keeping the master copy intact elsewhere if needed.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Teachers often run into minor hiccups when cleaning up their accounts. Watch out for these common errors:
- Deleting active game reports: Erasing an assessment also scrubs the underlying data links. If you need student performance analytics or score exports from a live game you ran last week, download your reports before you delete the quiz.
- Confusing public library items with personal copies: You can't delete resources owned by other educators from the public repository. If you imported a public quiz, you're only deleting your personal library's duplicate copy, which is completely safe.
- Mistaking archiving for deleting: If you want to hide an old assessment from your active view without losing it forever, check if moving it to an archive folder suits your workflow better than permanent deletion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover a deleted quiz on Quizizz?
No. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Once you click confirm in the final dialog box, the system purges the assessment data. Make sure you don't need the questions or media before hitting delete.
Why can't I see the delete option for a quiz?
You likely don't own the resource, or you're viewing a read-only version from the public library without saving a copy first. You can only delete items that you personally created or duplicated into your own library.
Does deleting a quiz delete student score reports?
Yes. Removing an assessment wipes out the resource and its associated data links. If you still need student scores, print or download your grade reports as a spreadsheet before you clear the file from your account.
Can I delete multiple quizzes at once?
The standard interface requires you to delete resources individually through their respective resource pages to prevent accidental mass deletions.
