To delete a folder, you have to mark its option button in the directory overview. Next, click on the trashcan button
on the right-hand upper edge of the page. The system asks for confirmation to make sure you really want to delete this folder. You can only delete a knowledge entry if you also have delete permission for this folder.
If you are sure you want to delete this item, confirm the security question by clicking the Delete button.
![]() | Potential hazards of deleting foldersBe sure to keep in mind that this method not only deletes the folder itself, but also all the subfolders and all the knowledge entries saved inside. If you do not have permission to edit any of the saved subfolders or knowledge entries, instead of getting the security question, an error message appears for around three minutes and you are then returned to the first page of the module with the overview of the directory tree. If the folder appears to be empty, there may still be knowledge entries or subfolders inside that you do not have permission to access and thus are not permitted to delete. The root folder is the core folder of the directory hierarchy. This cannot be deleted. |
If you decide not to continue with this deletion, you can leave the menu again by clicking on the Cancel button.
