Box - Remove Institutional Folder

Tags Box

Issue/Question

  • How do I remove an institutional folder in Box that is no longer needed?

Environment

  • Oregon State University
  • Box

Explanation

Because institutional folders in Box are owned by OSU Folder Admin, you cannot delete them.

However, you can remove yourself as a collaborator to effectively remove the folder from your list.

Resolution

To remove collaborators from an institutional folder in Box:

  1. Login at box.oregonstate.edu
  2. Right-click on the folder and choose More Actions -> Manage Collaborators
  3. In the Permissions column, select Remove for each co-owner; Remove your own permissions last
