The temporary nature of courses makes the course folder—tied to the course ID—use ful for storing content that's specific to a single course. If a course is deleted, the folder tied to the course ID is no longer accessible. If you want to reuse content that's stored in a course folder, you can copy or move these items.
A folder stores both files and other folders. It is important to remember that all folders are contained within other folders up to the root (/) folder. Content areas, such as Users, Courses, Institution, and Library, are folders stored under the root folder.
