# Delete a folder

`POST /folder.delete`

## Description

Delete a folder. Members lose the access the folder gave them; the
meetings and Magicasts filed in it are not deleted, and anyone who could
see an item another way keeps that access.

**Access:** Organization and Personal. Personal tokens need the `admin` role
on the folder: a viewer gets `403` `access_denied`, and a folder the token's
owner does not belong to returns `404` `folder_not_found`. Organization
tokens can change every folder in the account.

**Required scope:** `folders:write`
