Users with FULL Control rights at the folder level may delete folders. Deleted folders are placed in the recycle bin, and can be recovered by the user who deleted the folder or by the System Administrator.
To delete a folder, perform the following:
  1. Navigate to the parent folder by clicking on it.
  2. The folder you wish to delete will be displayed on the right-hand side of your screen.
  3. On the right-hand side of your screen, click on the checkbox to select the folder.
  4. Click on the "Delete" menu item in the "Edit" menu.
  5. Confirm that you wish to continue with the delete operation.
There are many reasons why you may not be able to delete a folder:
  • There may be "Checked Out" documents in the folder.
  • You may not have the required permissions to delete one or more documents in the folder.
  • Folder Rules prevent the folder from being deleted.
  • One or more documents in the folder you are trying to delete, may be under review.
Security considerations:
An "Access Denied" message in infoRouter does not always mean that you cannot perform that function.

For example, you may have Full Control rights in a folder but still not be able to delete the folder. The reason may be one or more of the reasons specified above.

As a user with Full Control rights at the folder level, you may give yourself the required rights to other documents and folders and try to perform the action again.
