Deleting Documents/Folders
You can delete an existing folder(s).

IMPORTANT

You can press the [Shift] + [Delete] keys in a library other than a Document Server Library to delete a document/folder without moving it to the Recycle Bin. However by doing this, the document/folder is completely deleted and cannot be restored.
The document/folder is completely deleted and cannot be restored if you perform this operation for a Network Library that does not have a Recycle Bin or a SharePoint Server Library.

NOTE

More than one folder can be selected to be deleted.
For details on how to restore or delete folders from the Recycle Bin, see the following.
SharePoint Server Libraries have no Recycle Bin.
You cannot delete a folder in a Document Server Library by dragging and dropping it to the Windows Recycle Bin. Use the Desktop Browser Recycle Bin or delete it instead.
