You can use Management Center to delete promotions or subfolders from a parent folder.
Before you begin
If you can delete folders with subfolders and you are working in an asset
store, do not delete folders that might contain a subfolder that belongs to an extended site store.
If you are using extended sites, ensure that you understand how
folders work in extended sites. For more information, see Folders in extended sites.
About this task
An administrator can enable the Promotions tool to not display promotions that are in a folder in the main Promotions - List view. When this configuration is enabled, promotions that are in a folder do not display in the list of promotions for your store. When you remove a promotion from a folder and the promotion is not in any other folders, the promotion can display in the main Promotions - List again. When you delete the folder, the promotions that were in that folder and are not in any other folders can display in the main Promotions - List again. For more information, see Organizing promotions with folders.
