"I use the files section for my private course grou (open only to people I approve as members) - https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/fall-2016-foundations-of-bilingual-ed-at-hunter/. Someone named Nick Joseph Reyes's files are showing up here even though he is not a member of the group. I checked this folder Saturday, and only my files were there, so it had to have been between then and now that this glitch happened. Do you know how I can delete them from the folder? It doesn't give me the option. Also, how do I make sure the contents of my folders are protected from non-members?"

I went to this group and it is indeed still private, so I am utterly mystified here. I looked at the student's profile - https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/nickjoseph/groups/- and see that he is in an entirely different course - https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/fall-2016-queens-eng130-ali/. It's my educated guess that his files were meant to be posted there.

How should I proceed? It seems logical to email the student to find out what he thinks he did, but I don't really know what that tells us.
The user would like to delete the files - can she be granted access to do that or can someone do it for her? Can we see if he also put these files in the Queens course group?

Has this happened before? It's a first for me!
