Delete multiple folders

[Anonymous]

Why it is not possible to delete more than one folder?

I know, if folders are inside other folders, we can...

But when we have 25 folders inside a folder, and we have to delete 20 of them...

That Would be a great one.  I have 100 Folders to remove...

This could help a lot

Hi,

Try this.

If Vault do not have a function, this does not mean it is not possible.

foreach (ISelection selection in e.Context.CurrentSelectionSet)
{

if (selection.TypeId == SelectionTypeId.Folder)
{
selectedFolder = connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.GetFolderById(selection.Id);

try
{
connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.DeleteFolderHierarchy(selectedFolder.Id);

}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{ }

}

}

Hi Darius,

Yes that's a way to do this.  How ever,  I think this forum is for Idea's  for the Vault standard functionality.  I think this should be standard functionality in the vault. (with admin privileges of course.) 🙂

Kind regards, Alain

I agree.

Deleting multiple folders after you find via search results/view filter would be a huge benefit to us.  I was going to try grabbing them all and moving them into one folder to bulk delete, but unfortunately since they are all the same name I can't.

Agreed.  This would be hugely beneficial.  We have changed our folder structure within Vault and I cannot remove the folders that are no longer used.
