How to delete Topic 0 in a Moodle Course

So we are running a Moodle 3.7 system. Is it not possible to delete the Topic 0 section? The gear icon doesnt show the delete option like it does for other sections. I have searched in the forums, before posting and came across this tracker issue: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-60241?attachmentViewMode=list Here they manually chnange the visibility in the database. This doesnt work for me. SInce students can still view the section. Please help [![enter image description here][1]][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/p7Isv.png
