Folder not found

Error message

Folder not found

What it means

A lookup/type guard in removeFolder: it fetches folderId from the folders table and requires the record to exist with type 'folder'. It fires when a folder deletion is requested for an id that is missing or points at a link node — the faulting input is the folderId argument; recursive stack-based deletion is only defined for folders.
