Remarks

Use the DeleteFolderType type to delete unmanaged folders and managed folders. You cannot delete default folders, such as the Inbox or Deleted Items folders, by using this operation.

Examples

The following code example shows the soft-deletion of two folders.

static void DeleteFolder(ExchangeServiceBinding esb)
{ 
    // Identify the folders to delete.
    FolderIdType folder1 = new FolderIdType();
    FolderIdType folder2 = new FolderIdType();
    folder1.Id = "AQAlAE1B1";
    folder2.Id = "AQAlAE1B2";
    FolderIdType[] folders = new FolderIdType[2] { folder1, folder2 };

    // Form the delete folder request.
    DeleteFolderType request = new DeleteFolderType();
    request.FolderIds = folders;
    request.DeleteType = DisposalType.SoftDelete;

    try
    {
        // Send the request and get the response.
        DeleteFolderResponseType response = esb.DeleteFolder(request);
        ArrayOfResponseMessagesType aormt = response.ResponseMessages;
        ResponseMessageType[] rmta = aormt.Items;

        foreach (ResponseMessageType rmt in rmta)
        {
            if (rmt.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Error)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Folder was not deleted.");
            }
            else if (rmt.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Folder was deleted.");
            }
            else
                Console.WriteLine("Warning");
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }
}
