Delete a folder
Delete a folder.
Delete a folder permanently removes the folder and all of its contents. We can delete folders to clean up unnecessary clutter or get rid of outdated information. However, once you delete a folder in Document Manager we cannot retrieve it. Be absolutely sure that the folder and the documents in it are no longer necessary. Also, ensure that no one is working on any documents in that folder. If you delete a folder while someone else is editing a document in that folder, he or she will receive an error message and will not be able to save the document.
We cannot delete a folder that has private or submitted drafts in it. Before the delete process begins, Document Manager checks to make sure there are no draft documents anywhere in the folder hierarchy. If a draft is found in the top level folder, or any of the child folders, a message is displayed and the delete process is cancelled.
To delete a folder, complete the following steps:
- Select the check box next to the folder that you want to delete.
- Click More actions and select Delete from the drop-down menu. A dialog box opens, asking if you are sure we want to delete the folder.
- Click OK to delete the folder, or Cancel to keep the folder.
