Here’s the sneaky part. Archiving a class doesn’t delete the Google Drive folder. That folder is still out there, using up your storage. Sneaky, right?

If you want to burn it all down, go to your Google Drive. Search for the class folder. It’s usually labeled something like “Classroom – [Class Name].”
Right-click it. Hit “Remove.” Then empty your trash in Drive. That’s the nuclear option. But be warned: once it’s gone, it’s gone. No crying over lost homework.
Pro Tips (Because I’m Nice)
Label your classes clearly before archiving. I once archived a class named “UGH” and couldn’t find it for three months. Name your classes something boring, like “Math 101 Fall 2026.” Future you will thank you.
And hey, don’t hoard old classes. I have a friend who has 47 archived classes from 2015. He’s a digital hoarder. Don’t be like Mike.
One more thing: if you’re a student, you can also choose to “Unenroll” from a class instead of waiting for the teacher to archive it. Just click the three dots and hit “Unenroll.” You’ll miss the class forever, but let’s be honest—you already missed the final.
