# Method name: bulkDeleteFolders(folderIds: Array<string>, options: BulkDeleteFoldersOptions)

# Method package: wixMediaV2

# Method menu location: wixMediaV2 --> folders --> bulkDeleteFolders

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-media-v2/folders/bulk-delete-folders.md

# Method Description:

Temporarily deletes the specified folders from the Media Manager. <br/>

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](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/media/folders/bulk-restore-folders-from-trash-bin.md) | [REST](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/assets/media/media-manager/folders/bulk-restore-folders-from-trash-bin.md)) method to restore folders from the Media Manager's trash bin.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Bulk delete folders (dashboard page code)

```javascript
import { folders } from 'wix-media.v2';

/* Sample folderIds value:
 * [ 
 *   '302fc049d70c41dea33fa4a27ab481ba',
 *   's8ze556gf8wfao3us62nx25ww3lr595a'
 * ] 
 */

  try {
    const deletedFolders = await folders.bulkDeleteFolders(folderIds);

    console.log('Successfully moved folders to trash.');
    return deletedFolders;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to void */
```

## Bulk delete folders (export from backend code)

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { folders } from 'wix-media.v2';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

/* Sample folderIds value:
 * [ 
 *   '302fc049d70c41dea33fa4a27ab481ba',
 *   's8ze556gf8wfao3us62nx25ww3lr595a'
 * ] 
 */

  }
});

/* Promise resolves to void */

```

## Bulk permanently delete folders

```javascript
