Description

It is currently not possible to remove the local copy of a folder.
You can delete files from cache "Delete from cache" but that option isn't available for directories if you click on delete.

On Android you have also for folders the option to delete them from the local storage only.

Go to folder, click on delete, see the options you have

This makes it a lot easier if you want to remove all files of a folder from the local storage/cache

iPhone 5, 10.3.3
