#### **🔹 Step 3: Select the Option to Delete All Nested Folders (If Applicable)**

  * The system will **delete all subfolders** within the selected folder.
* **Note:** If this option is not selected, only the parent folder will be deleted, and the nested subfolders will be preserved.

#### **🔹 Step 4: Specify the Destination Path for the Assets**

* **Before deleting the folder**, you must enter or select the **destination path (Asset Destination Path)** for the assets inside the folder.
* **All assets within the deleted folder** will be **moved to this destination path** for storage.

📌 **Note:** **No assets will be deleted** during this process; only the folder structure will be affected.
