Delete views and folders

Delete views and folders

- [Instructor] Before we move on, I need to emphasize what happens if you delete a folder or a view. I'm on the view showing all the jobs with build in their name. If I select delete view from this page, I get a warning asking if I really want to delete this item, I'll select yes to proceed. We no longer have access to the view, but the jobs that were visible inside the view are still there. If I drop into the cyclones folder, the cyclone's build job is still present. The leading folders though is a different story. When you delete a folder, all the contents of a folder are deleted along with it. That means any jobs, views, and folders that a folder contains will also get removed. Inside this folder, I'll select delete folder. Once again, I get a warning and I'll select yes, and sure enough, the folder is gone and all of the jobs that were inside that folder are gone as well. So before you delete a folder, keep in mind that you will also be deleting everything inside that folder…
