Why Delete a Folder?
Deleting a folder from your document management system removes all access to the folders, along with any visit data tied to those folders.
A confirmation prompt ensures the deletion is intentional, reducing the risk of accidental loss of important data.

Important Insights
• Double-Check Folder Content: Verify the contents before deletion to ensure no critical files are removed unintentionally. This is especially important for folders with shared links.
• Impact of Deletion: Deleting a folder will remove all access permissions and erase all visit data for every file within that folder, permanently disabling access.
• Regular Folder Management: Regularly review and clean up your folders to ensure access is only granted where needed and outdated files or folders are removed for optimal organization and security.
