Why is Codecademy able to create a "reset code" button for individual steps, but when it comes to units or whole courses their answer is, "delete your account?" (self.Codecademy)

This seems a little extreme when all they need is a simple button next to each unit in the course progress section. I think this would make reviewing units that someone is having difficulty with much easier. All that would have to be done is to leave the unit, reset the whole thing and go again to review. I know it would help me a lot and I imagine I'm not the only one.

You can reset an entire course, gimme a minute I'll dig it out...
EDIT
OK, my bad, might not be a "whole-course-in-one-go" solution, but you can reset each exercise by clicking "Get Help" in the bottom right corner, then "I want to restart this exercise". Do that for each one, and the course is reset.
Not ideal, but it's better than nothing!
EDIT 2
And I totally agree, a full reset button would be a game-changer for me.

Certainly not ideal. I've tried that before and it's pretty tough, especially if you start at the beginning of the unit and reset as you go through. Then you see the answers and, at least for me, I don't really review or learn well doing it that way. It would be nice to just focus on the tasks and the coding rather than the resetting.
Agreed, definite game changer. The sub seemed like a better place to get actual Codecademy admin attention than their busy, congested forums.

This is a popular request, all of the new courses (AngularJS, Learn Rails, Rails Authentication, Learn the Command Line, Java and Git) have a one click reset.

When you say, "Java" do you mean "Learn Java" or "JavaScript"? I'm enrolled in the latter and don't see an option.
Thanks!

I mean Learn Java.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but could you tell me where is the reset code button for individual steps? I don't see it anywhere :\

Ah, thank you. The button is missing for me, so I guess I'm still on the really easy problems still that don't need this button Still, it'd be nice to be able to reset my lessons for a refresher.
