# Delete Folder
Deletes a specific folder from a document library by processing rows from an Excel file.
Filename pattern: filename must contain deletefolder (case-insensitive).
Example: 20240115 deletefolder cleanup.xlsx
# Columns
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Url | Conditional | Server-relative URL of the document library. Required when MatterCode is not provided. |
| MatterCode | Conditional | Matter code used to resolve the document library from the matter list. Required when Url is not provided. |
| ClientCode | No | Client code used together with MatterCode to identify the matter. |
| Folder | Yes | Relative path of the folder to delete within the library (e.g. Correspondence\2016). Leading and trailing path separators are trimmed. |
| Force | No | Boolean. true removes the folder even if it contains files. Defaults to false. |
| RecycleBin / Recycle | No | Boolean. true sends the folder to the recycle bin. false (default) permanently deletes it. |
Either Url or MatterCode must be provided. Folder is always required.
# Behavior
When targeting by MatterCode, if the matter has more than one document library, the row fails — use Url directly in that case.
