REPORTS: Unable to delete Reports Folder even if empty.

Summary:


Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

Hi support

we are trying to delete report folders which contain reports or are empty, but we get this error:

You cannot delete a folder that contains subfolders, forms, dashboards, infolet, reports , or documents, You must empty the folder before deleting it.

I guess this is for security reason, but I do not understand why we cannot delete an empty folder.

Is there a way to set these reports folders to delete and supersede this limitation / access permission?

I understand if the reports had a different owner, but if the user deleting the reports folders is an Admin user and has Write access then they should be able to delete the folder with its content.

Howdy, Stranger!
