Fixes #1525

multi_delete.mp4

Changes

Frontend (frontend/src)

  • FolderManagementCard.tsx:

  • Replaced individual row delete icon buttons (Trash2) with circular selection checkboxes (peer sr-only input + styled radio/checkbox indicator).

  • Added a top toolbar with a master "Select all (N)" toggle supporting full, empty, and indeterminate (Minus icon) selection states.

  • Added a "Remove Selected (N)" batch action button that opens a confirmation dialog.

  • Integrated ConfirmDialog to explain the consequence of deletion (library removal without deleting local files on disk).

  • Added an auto-pruning effect to clean up selected IDs if folders are modified or removed externally.

  • Replaced hardcoded gray color classes with shadcn tokens (text-muted-foreground).

  • useFolderOperations.tsx:

  • Replaced deleteFolder(folderId: string) with deleteMultipleFolders(folderIds: string[]).

  • Updated deleteFolderMutation mutation function to accept folderIds: string[] and call deleteFolders({ folder_ids: folderIds }).

  • Updated mutation feedback banner messages to reflect plural operations ("Removing folder(s)", "Folder(s) Removed").

Backend (backend/)

  • folders.py:
  • Removed unused legacy db_delete_folder(folder_path: FolderPath) database function, centralizing folder removal into db_delete_folders_batch(folder_ids).

Tests

  • useFolderOperations.test.tsx:
  • Updated test suite from single-folder deletion to batch deletion (deleteMultipleFolders(['folder-1', 'folder-2'])), validating query invalidation on success and error
    handling.
  • test_folders.py:
  • Cleaned up obsolete unit tests referencing db_delete_folder and updated comments to reference db_delete_folders_batch.

Tests for multiple deletion folders were already written So I only deleted Test for single deletion.

Walkthrough

The Settings folder list now supports multi-selection, select-all behavior, confirmation, and batch removal. The frontend hook sends multiple folder IDs. Obsolete backend single-folder deletion code was removed.

Changes

Batch folder removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Align backend deletion coverage
backend/app/database/folders.py, backend/tests/test_folders.py
Removes db_delete_folder and updates batch deletion coverage for multiple and partially missing folder IDs.
Expose batch deletion operation
frontend/src/hooks/useFolderOperations.tsx, frontend/src/hooks/__tests__/useFolderOperations.test.tsx
Replaces deleteFolder with deleteMultipleFolders, sends folder ID arrays, and verifies cache invalidation for success and failure.
Add Settings multi-selection flow
frontend/src/pages/SettingsPage/components/FolderManagementCard.tsx
Adds folder checkboxes, select-all behavior, stale-selection cleanup, confirmation, batch removal, and pending-state controls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 847cd

Batch folder removal works, but a failed removal loses the user’s selected folders and makes retrying large batches unnecessarily difficult. Preserve the selection until deletion succeeds before merging.

937-937: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test deletion of more than one folder ID.

test_db_delete_folders_batch_success passes only ["folder-id-1"]. An implementation that ignores every ID after the first still passes. Call db_delete_folders_batch with both IDs and assert that both records are removed.

Proposed test update
-        result = db_delete_folders_batch(["folder-id-1"])
+        result = db_delete_folders_batch(["folder-id-1", "folder-id-2"])

-        assert result == 1
+        assert result == 2
         assert db_get_folder_path_from_id("folder-id-1") is None
-        assert db_get_folder_path_from_id("folder-id-2") == "/tmp/docs"
+        assert db_get_folder_path_from_id("folder-id-2") is None

Add coverage for a partially missing batch.

This test covers only requests where every folder ID exists. Add a case with one existing ID and one missing ID. Assert that db_delete_folders_batch returns the number of deleted rows and removes the existing folder. This preserves the batch contract for stale selections.

As per path instructions: test code must be automated, comprehensive, and follow testing best practices.

+        db_insert_folders_batch(

Preserve the selection until deletion succeeds.

Line 256 clears the complete batch before the mutation settles. If deletion fails, the error appears after the user has lost the selection and must select every folder again.

Remove the eager reset. Let the folder refresh prune deleted IDs, or clear the selection from a successful mutation callback.
