bulkDeleteFolders( )

Temporarily deletes the specified folders from the Media Manager.

The deleted folders are moved to the Media Manager's trash-root folder (trash bin) unless permanently deleted. To permanently delete folders, specify the permanent parameter with the value true. Permanently deleting folders isn't reversible, so make sure that the files in these folders aren't being used in a site or in any other way as the files will no longer be accessible.

Note the following:

  • When a folder is deleted, the files in that folder are deleted.
  • The specified folders can be from different parent folders.
  • Moving multiple folders at once is an asynchronous action, and may take time for the changes to appear in the Media Manager.
  • Attempting to delete folders that are already in the trash bin doesn't result in an error.
  • If a site contains files from a deleted media folder, the files still appear on the site as the deleted folder is still in the Media Manager (in the trash bin).
  • You can also use the Bulk Restore Folders From Trash Bin (SDK | REST) method to restore folders from the Media Manager's trash bin.
