Hi,

I have created couple of extra folder in Confluence but now I am struggling to delete. Even though I am the owner, I cant delete the empty folders. Can you please assist me how to delete those extra folders.

Kanwaljit

Hi @Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi ,

You should be able to delete folder from the left space navigation/content tree.

Now, if you don't have this option, you should configure space permissions.
If you're the owner, you should have permission "Delete own content". If folder is owned/created by another user, you would need to have "Delete anyone's content" permission (when talking about new Confluence roles); or just "Delete content" permission in old permission experience.

Cheers,
Tobi
