[//]: # (werk v2) # folder_config: Prevent unintentional deletion of a non-empty folder key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-01-11T09:34:55+00:00 version | 2.3.0b1 class | fix edition | cre component | rest-api level | 1 compatible | no Prior to this Werk, the REST API could delete non-empty folders without any further check. With this Werk, the endpoint now accepts the **delete_method** query parameter. The possible values are: - **recursive**: Deletes the folder and all the elements it contains. - **abort_on_nonempty**: Deletes the folder only if it is not empty If no delete_method is provided, **recursive** is asumed and the behaviour is the same as before this Werk. The enpoint will return a 409 status code when trying to delete a folder that contains hosts, rules, subfolders or is referenced by another object. Use example: `curl -X 'DELETE' 'http://example.com/my_site/check_mk/api/1.0/objects/folder_config/my_folder?delete_metod=abort_on_nonempty' -H 'accept: */*`
