Description | Use the delete folder command to clean up by removing a folder you created. If a folder contains any files or folders, it cannot be deleted with the delete folder command until the items inside it are deleted or moved. To delete a folder that is not empty, use the revDeleteFolder command. This command can also be used to remove folders your stack did not create. Of course, a stack should not remove folders it did not create without obtaining explicit confirmation from the user.
