Overview

This node deletes a folder object in the Directus system based on a unique folder ID provided as input. It is useful for scenarios where you need to programmatically remove folders, such as cleaning up unused directories or managing folder lifecycle in an automated workflow.

Use Case Examples

1. Deleting a folder by specifying its unique ID to remove obsolete or empty folders from the system.
2. Automating folder management by deleting folders that meet certain criteria in a batch process.

Properties

Output

JSON

• success - Indicates whether the folder deletion was successful
• id - The unique ID of the folder that was deleted

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Directus API.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the folder ID provided is valid and exists in the system; otherwise, the deletion will fail.
• Check API authentication credentials if the node returns authorization errors.
• If the folder is linked to other resources or has dependencies, deletion might be blocked; verify folder relationships before attempting deletion.
