Overview

This node operation deletes a directory in the HumHub platform's CFile Directory resource. It is useful for automating the removal of directories within a container, such as cleaning up unused folders or managing file organization programmatically. For example, a user can specify the directory ID to delete a specific folder from a container in HumHub.

Use Case Examples

1. Deleting a directory by specifying its ID to remove obsolete or unwanted folders from a container in HumHub.
2. Automating directory cleanup tasks in HumHub by deleting directories based on certain conditions or triggers.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The ID of the deleted directory or confirmation of deletion.
• status - Status or response message from the delete operation.

Dependencies

• Requires authentication credentials for HumHub API, either Basic Auth or JWT Token.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include providing an invalid or non-existent directory ID, which will result in an error from the HumHub API indicating the directory could not be found.
• Authentication failures due to incorrect or missing credentials will prevent the delete operation from succeeding.
• Network or API endpoint issues may cause the request to fail; ensure the HumHub API is accessible and the node is configured correctly.
