…elete Course Content" is more descriptive. Functionality still maintains the name "reset" in code.

I am ashamed to admit that I made a mistake in a production Canvas environment and deleted my course by accident. Luckily I think our administrators have a backup. I misconstrued "Reset Course Content" to mean resetting course progression for students. I think its much clearer to just call it "Delete Course Content" since that is what the button is actually doing. Based on my quick Google searches it seems I am not the only person who has made this mistake.
Also I know there's a lightbox dialog that somewhat clarifies the functionality but I still misread it and thought it would just reset course progression.
I don't think this warrants changing the naming convention for the functionality in code (since "reset" can help differentiate from "delete course" functionality) but I am happy to go through and update this as well if its deemed necessary.
