Invalid course module ID

Invalid course module ID

Hi 

We have a module that shows the error message "Invalid course module ID". From what I read, it seems that the lecturer used either empty spaces or special characters inside the sections' headers. This is mentioned in the tracker MDL-72685 and it seems that to patch this issue we need to upgrade to Moodle 3.11.6 or above.

The solution I followed was restoring a complete working clone of the whole site, and take the backup of the course (before being tampered by the lecturer) and then restoring the course into the live site as a new course as I wasn't able to restore the backup to the same affected course. As after the restoration process (when using the existing course) I was getting the same "Invalid course module ID". So the solution that worked was restoring the course as a completely new course.

Any attempt to delete the old course is throwing the error "Invalid course module ID".

However, my question is there any way to display, restore, or delete this particular course (the original course)?


The following are the outputs of the debugging:
