Delete a folder and everything inside it in one step

The challenge
Right now you can only delete a folder once it's completely empty. If a folder still contains items, deleting it is blocked, so you first have to open the folder and remove everything inside it before you can delete the folder itself. For anyone trying to clean up a lot of old, unused folders that's very tedious — you have to go through each folder and empty it by hand, one by one. It gets especially painful when you're trying to free up space to stay under your account's Cloud File Limit.

Our approach
Let's let you delete a folder that still contains items in a single action, so you no longer have to empty it first. When a folder isn't empty, we'll clearly confirm what will be removed before anything is deleted, so it stays safe and intentional.

Expected impact

  • Clean up old, unused folders in one step instead of emptying each one manually
  • Free up space more easily to stay under your Cloud File Limit
  • Spend less time on folder housekeeping
