You can delete content pages, layouts, or subfolders
from a folder.
Before you begin
Before you delete a folder, you must
delete or move any subfolders in the folder. You can have a developer
configure your folders so that you can delete a folder that has subfolders.
Then, when you delete a folder, you also delete the subfolders and
any objects within both the folder and any subfolders. Only the references
to the objects are deleted. The objects continue to exist in your
system, and in any other folder the object is included within. For
more information about this configuration option, see Configuration properties in the infrastructure component.
If you are using extended sites,
ensure that you understand how folders work in extended sites. For
more information, see Folders in extended sites.
Procedure

- In the explorer view, locate and select the folder that

of folders within the folder or directory. Click the

- Delete a folder - If you delete a folder, you delete the folder
from your system. If the folder contains any Commerce Composer objects,
the objects are deleted from the folder. The objects continue to exist
in your system and in any other folders that include the objects.
You can also
delete a subfolder from a parent folder within the properties view
of the subfolder by removing the folder entry in the Parent Folder
table. Removing this entry makes the subfolder a top-level folder.
- Verify that the Commerce Composer object
or subfolder no longer displays within the parent folder.
