8.17 Deleting an iFolder

If you delete an iFolder from your collection, it deletes the local copy of the iFolder and its contents. It also can affect the share relationship for the iFolder, depending on the Access right you hold for it.

You are allowed to delete the local copy of the iFolder which is shared with the LDAPGroup you are a member of. However, you cannot delete your membership from that iFolder.

The following table outlines the effect on the share relationship and the member iFolders based on the Access right of the user who deletes the iFolder.
