Plugin used to check and resolve any incomplete course_delete_module adhoc tasks.
This has been tested to cover the following course_delete_module adhoc task failure scenarios:
- course_module table record absent.
- module's table (e.g. quiz) record absent.
- context table record absent.
- If the task(s) contains multiple course modules, it will recommend separating each module into separate adhoc tasks. See "Resolve" for more information.
- If there is/are task(s) which are incomplete, it will identify which database tables lack records, which cause the breakdown for the normal process deleting course modules. For example, the course module record or the assign table record might be missing. See "Resolve" for information about how the plugin can resolve these.
- Separate "clustered" adhoc tasks: If the adhoc task contains multiple modules, the plugin can separate them into individualised adhoc tasks (one per course module) so that modules without issue can be resolved as normal course_delete_module adhoc tasks. Any remaining tasks which have issues can be checked and resolved on their own.
- Delete remnant module data and clear off adhoc tasks: If a task is incomplete, the plugin can delete the remnant data records and clear off the course_delete_adhoc task. Although this process will NOT backup the module to the recycle bin.
There is a GUI side and a CLI to the plugin.
There is a config setting to filter out any tasks with a very low "faildelay" status. For example, if the task has a faildelay of 0, it's probably doesn't need to be viewed.
The "faildelay" filter can also be modified via a param. Instructions of how to use the CLI can be found in the help page:
$ php admin/tool/fix_delete_modules/cli/fix_course_delete_modules.php --help
| Moodle version | Branch |
|---|---|
| Moodle 3.5+ | main |
- Log in to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins.

The plugin can be also installed by putting the contents of this directory to

Afterwards, log in to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration > Notifications to complete the installation.
Alternatively, you can run
$ php admin/cli/upgrade.php
to complete the installation from the command line.
- minimumfaildelay defines the minimum faildelay (in seconds) of course_delete_modules adhoc tasks to be displayed in the report page.
