Description
The delete user folder operation (POST only) is available only on the user's non-root folders. The user's root folder cannot be deleted.
Deleting a folder also deletes all items that it contains (both the items and the links).
For ArcGIS Online organizations, the delete user folder operation moves all the items in the folder, if supported, to the recycle bin for 14 days before they are permanently deleted. Any unsupported items in the folder are permanently deleted. Learn more about permanently deleting and restoring items.
