- You can delete an empty leaf folder or empty folder tree in Lightning Experience. An empty leaf folder is a folder that doesn’t contain any reports or dashboards and doesn’t have any subfolders. An empty folder tree is one with no reports or dashboards in the root folder or in any of the subfolders.
- If you want to delete a non-empty folder, either move the reports or dashboards in the folder to another folder, or delete the reports or dashboards. Then permanently delete the reports and dashboards from the Recycle Bin.
- You can’t delete empty folders from managed packages. To delete the folder, uninstall the managed package or contact the package provider for help.

1. On the Analytics tab or the Reports or Dashboards tab, find the report or dashboard you want to delete and select the **Delete** row level action.
2. Click **Delete** to confirm.

The folder is deleted.
