Assuming no collections exist, it is mentioned at the end of the guide.

Many thanks. Isn't the issue that "Collections" does exist?

At the end of this link it says, "Note you can go to the browser and open each library to see each parentid in the URL as it is the same as id/itemid. Then you would go to /Library/VirtualFolders/Delete and replace "string" with the library id you want to remove."

It's not obvious where, "/Library/VirtualFolders/Delete" is?

It is all within the same api endpoint LibraryStructureService.

Many thanks.

In /Library/VirtualFolders/Paths/Delete

I got as far as:

{
  "Id": "Collections",
  "RefreshLibrary": true
}

 

and when I clicked on Execute I got:

 

I restarted the server and Collections is still there.,

But that is not your library ID but should be the same as the parentid shown in url when you enter Collections library also.

Example from guide 

      "ItemId": "126485",
      "Id": "126485",
      "Guid": "2faa6a99f9d24feabfeab2f97e3764d7",
      "PrimaryImageItemId": "126485"
    }

Thanks.

I opened /Library/VirtualFolders/Query Try at and execute and got the following

I found "Collections"

and at the bottom I get

I placed that into

/Library/VirtualFolders/Paths Try it

{
  "Id": "11673",
  "RefreshLibrary": true
}

And hit Execute

And got:

Just in case it worked, I restarted the server and confirm "Collections" is still there.

I presume I need to "authenticate"?
