# What happens to the metrics log when I delete a course? If a course is deleted, all information and metrics related to every student who took that course will be **preserved** in the platform (until that student is deleted). This includes progress KPIs and certificates. If you are thinking about deleting the student's account and want to keep an external copy of the metrics, make sure to download the student’s progress report before deleting their account. {% content-ref url="/pages/52Rrub34qzN9299C3UOy" %} [Want to keep any student information before deleting their account?](/atrilio-users-guide/users/a.-students/how-do-i-delete-students-from-the-platform/want-to-keep-any-student-information-before-deleting-their-account.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
