Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
You can remove a folder in the Collections module by right-clicking on it and selecting Remove. When you do it, the folder tree disappears and goes back to the root folder, but very often you want to keep on working on the folders "around" the removed one.
Describe the solution you'd like
When a folder is removed in the Collections module, do not go back to the root folder but simply remove that folder from the current folder tree.
