Can't delete a forum

If I delete a forum, I get the message, wether I really want to delete. I say yes and the forums disappears in the editing mode. But if I switch back in the normal mode, the forum appears again. Why can't I delete? (It's a Nachrichtenforum (in German))

You go to the course, turn editing on. Then you see a "x"-Symbol nearby the forum. Press is!

(I than get the question, weather I really like to delelete it. I press Yes, it disapperas but as I get off editing mode, the news forum is still there)

Hi,

As I understand it the News forum is a default and (intentionally) can't be deleted - but you could close the eye to make it not visible to students if you really want.

I created a second forum on my front page, a discussion forum, that I don't know how to delete. I can see how to delete a forum from a course, but how do I find where to delete a forum I created on the front page? Thanks in advance for reading this and Bless You! if you have an answer. Dana

Thanks for this information. Maybe I've overseen it in the documention. I'm a little bit surprised that it is intentionally.
