# `album.delete`

<span class="badge">bearer</span>

**Delete a folder**

Moves the folder's photos to the default folder, re-renders exactly those, and soft-deletes the folder. Returns the recrop job id; job_id 0 means the folder was empty (no recrop). The default folder cannot be deleted.

## Parameters

Passed by name in the `params` object.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | yes | Image UUID |

## Result

Returns `jobResult`:

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `job_id *` | integer |  |

## Errors

| Code | Message | When |
|---|---|---|
| `2001` | `not_found` | No such resource owned by the caller. |
| `1003` | `forbidden` | Not the owner, or outside a token's scope. |

See the [error reference](/docs/errors) for the full catalog, including the authentication codes.
