I need to delete a Folder from SharePoint 2010 document library using object model programmatically. Here is the code to delete the sub-folder from SharePoint document library:
To Delete a Sub-folder from SharePoint Document Library Programmatically:
To Delete a Sub-folder from SharePoint Document Library Programmatically:
String siteURL = "http://sharepoint.crescent.com/sites/sales";
String listName = "Documents";
String folderToDelete = "v2";
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteURL))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPFolderCollection folders = web.Folders[listName].SubFolders;
foreach (SPFolder folder in folders)
{
if (folder.Name == folderToDelete)
{
web.Folders[listName].SubFolders.Delete(folder.Url);
}
}
}
}The above code can be converted to PowerShell also, to delete folders programmatically:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$siteURL = "http://sharepoint.crescent.com/sites/sales.com"
$listName = "Documents"
$folderToDelete = "v2"
#Get the Web
$web = Get-SPWeb $siteURL
#Get all Sub folders
$folders = $web.Folders[$listName].SubFolders
Foreach ($folder in $folders)
{
if ($folder.Name -match $folderToDelete)
{
$web.Folders[$listName].SubFolders.Delete($folder);
Write-Host "Folder has been deleted!"
}
} If you want to Delete All Folders from a Library:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$siteURL = "http://sharepoint.crescent.com/sites/sales"
$listName = "Documents"
#Get the Web
$web = Get-SPWeb $siteURL
#Get the list
$list = $web.lists[$listName]
#Get all folders under the list
$query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$camlQuery = '<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="ContentType" /><Value Type="Text">Folder</Value></Eq></Where>'
$query.Query = $camlQuery
$query.ViewAttributes = "Scope='RecursiveAll'"
$folders = $list.GetItems($query)
for ($index = $folders.Count - 1; $index -ge 0; $index--)
{
Write-Host("Deleting folder: $($folders[$index].Name) at $($folders[$index].URL)")
$folders.Delete($index);
