# Delete Folder in Collection
The **Delete Folder in Collection** feature allows users to remove unnecessary folders without losing important data. When a folder is deleted, **the assets (Assets) inside remain in the Collection**, only the folder itself is removed from the Collection.
### **How to Delete a Folder in Collection**
#### **🔹 Step 1: Open the Options Menu**
* Navigate to **Collections** and find the folder you want to delete. Ensure that the folder does not contain important assets or that they have been relocated.
* Click the **down arrow** on the folder thumbnail or **right-click** on the folder you want to delete.
* A menu with folder management options will appear.
Open the Options Menu
#### **🔹 Step 2: Select "Delete Folder"**
* Click the **"Delete Folder"** option to proceed with deletion.
Select "Delete Folder"
#### **🔹 Step 3: Select "Delete Folder"**
* Check "Delete All Nested Folders" if you want to delete all subfolders inside.
* If not selected, this delete action will only delete the parent folder and retain the nested folders and assets contained within it.
* Confirm the action to complete the process.
Delete Folder
📌 If you accidentally delete the wrong folder, check the **original Collection**, as the assets will still be there.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.hivo.co/collections/collection-folders/delete-folder-in-collection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
