Umbraco

I have a function that deletes media in a particular media folder. It works fine. But I also want to delete the folder. I don't see anything in IMediaService that does that. Any suggestions?

You probably need the fileservice for that

or do you mean the folder in the backoffice?

Really? They're only notional folders though aren't they?

The folder in the Media section in the back office.

I sincerely hope media.delete() isn't leaving the physical folders hanging around on disk, lol

Folders are IPublishedContent Items maybe

Hmmm.  Not sure. It's very IMedia-ish though.  I know I create them with this: var newMediaFolder = _mediaService.CreateMedia(parentFolderName, insertFolderID, "Folder");

I have a vague memory of asking this in V8 a few years ago, but can't remember the answer, lol

something like this should work

```csharp
        var _mediaFolder = Umbraco.MediaAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelf<Folder>().First(f => f.Name == title);
        var folder = _MediaService.GetById(_mediaFolder.Id);
        _MediaService.Delete(folder);
```

So you mean just treat a folder like a media item?  Cool, I'll give it a go.
