# Delete a folder (its lists move to the root)

`DELETE /business/folders/{folderId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1/business/folders/{folderId}`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Deletes a folder; the lists (or campaigns/agents) it held are not deleted and move back to the root. List folders resolve by id alone; pass `?type=campaign` or `?type=agent` for those folder kinds.

Errors:
- `404` `FOLDER_NOT_FOUND` — No folder with that id (of the routed kind) belongs to the token owner.
- `400` `INVALID_REQUEST` — campaign/agent kinds only: the owning service rejected the request.
- `422` `VALIDATION_FAILED` — folderId not a 24-hex id, or type outside the enum.
- `429` `RATE_LIMITED` — The lists rate bucket is exhausted.

Requires one of the following token scopes: lists.

## Path parameters

- `folderId` string, required: 24-character hex id of the folder (from GET /business/folders).

## Query parameters

- `type` 'contactList' | 'companyList' | 'campaign' | 'agent': Kind of the folder being changed: required as campaign or agent for those folder kinds; omit (or pass contactList/companyList) for a list folder, which resolves by id alone.

## Response `204`
