Overview

This node operation deletes items from a specified folder within the HumHub platform's CFile Item Management resource. It is useful for managing file organization by removing selected items from a folder, such as cleaning up or reorganizing files in a container. For example, a user can specify a container ID and a selection of item IDs to be deleted from that folder.

Use Case Examples

1. Deleting specific files or items from a folder in a HumHub container to maintain folder contents.
2. Automating cleanup of outdated or unnecessary files from a project folder in HumHub.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The ID of the container (folder) where items were deleted.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'ID' parameter corresponds to a valid container ID in HumHub.
• Verify the 'Selection' parameter is correctly formatted as {type}_{id} and refers to existing items in the folder.
• Authentication errors may occur if credentials are missing or invalid; verify the chosen authentication method and credentials.
• API request failures might happen if the user lacks permissions to delete items from the specified folder.
