# 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.&#x20;

### **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.
