I need to delete a student
I need to delete a student. I mistakenly enrolled a student with the incorrect name. I enrolled him in 5th grade. This name is incorrect. I have him in with the correct name now.

@PauletteG - Deleting students is not recommended. What you should do is to transfer the student out with the exit date the same as the entry date. This will inactivate the student. I have added a note to the student's name, such as Do Not Use, this way we know the record is invalid. I also add an exit note indicating why when transferring them out.

Is there a way to actually delete them?

You can delete students via DDA, but it is not supported and not recommended. The supported method is to Archive the student.
