This plugin extends question bank navigation node with "Purge categories" item.

Select category you want to delete and specify where to move questions, that cannot be deleted. Questions, that cannot be deleted, are questions, that are used in quizes or in history of quiz attempts. Such questions will be moved to specified categories and marked as hidden.

This can be useful if you are importing a lot of questions with many categories and want to delete all of them and reimport them.

    Awesome plugin. Is there any way I can purge all categories? I have a few courses where all question categories need to be purged. I can't find an easy way to move all categories into one, any ideas? I could run a browserscript I guess, but maybe there's an easier way.
    Thanks in advance!

    Bruno Muyllaert. Maybe in your case best solution is to reimport course without question bank at all.

    I'm with Ricardo, hoping for a 4.5 version. The 4.4 version doesn't show anything on the purge categories page.
