Just make it invisible by clicking on the eye icon next to it. That won't delete it but noone (except the teacher) will know it exists. If you are really sure that you will never need it you can also delete it entirely by clicking on the x icon next to it.

Quiz
Resource
Survey

Spacer

Thanks much Martin.
