Delete a chat folder
DELETE /v1/chats/folders/:folderId
Deletes the current user's personal chat folder together with its contents and pins. The chats themselves stay in the chat list. Deletion is irreversible: a folder cannot be restored through the API — create a new one if needed.

|---|---|---|---|
folderId (path) |
number | yes | Personal folder ID — the id field in GET /v1/chats/folders. A positive integer |
There are no query parameters or body fields: any query parameter or body field is rejected with 400 INVALID_PARAMS.
