Clipper users are afraid of permanently deleting the contents of a folder. They plan to use nested folders significantly, so there is a lot of damage that can be done. They want to make it more difficult to do given the risk, and because deleting a folder in itself is not likely to be a common action.

Describe the feature request

Thing we could do now:

  • Make the modal more scary - red button that says "Permanently delete this folder"
  • Add a confirm step to the modal - maybe
  • Hide the trashcan icon on folders - or just remove all trashcan icons

Eventually, we could:

  • Add more granular permissions at a folder level ?
  • Restore from a past version (versioning)
