Deleting and Editing Standard Scales

I have created a Standard Scale in the "Site Administration Area". Unfortunately is has a major spelling mistake in it.

How do I edit it. When I click the edit button it does not allow me to edit the scale. I can only edit the description.

I don't seem to be able to delete the scale either.

Once a scale is used an activity, you are unable to edit it. So, the "easy" way to fix it is to give any activities that use that scale a point type grade, and make the changes, and then change it back.

As an alternative, if you have access to the Moodle database, you can change spelling by editing the name field of the mdl_scale table.

While on the topic, make sure that your scale goes from low to high. For example, Not submitted,Submitted should be the order of the scale items to have grades work correctly.
