Delete Folder and sub-folders

[alltej]

Is there an option to delete folder and subfolders (recursively)?

Hi @alltej,
You can use the following CLI command to assist with this:

DeleteFolder - Amazon QuickSight

It looks like there’s a thread from roughly 2 years ago where a solution was shared and it worked for you, I would suggest revisiting this post as well!

How to delete folder that is not empty using the cli?

Hi @alltej - as it stands today, you need to remove the assets from the folder before you can delete the folder itself. Using the API you would call the list-folder-members command to get all the assets within that folder, then iterate through them using delete-folder-membership until it is empty. Finally you can delete the folder using delete-folder. To be clear, this does not delete the assets themselves, it just removes them from the folder.
