Right now, it is intended. I have a few solutions for this problem, but nothing yet, that is great. But I will continue to work on that.

I have also described it here: https://squidex.io/post/folder-structures-are-hard

I’ve read the article before posting, but because there is not a definitive solution I reported it.

Also related to Assets do you see any possibility to have the assets physically divided by APP when using assetStore type Folder ?
In a long running project it would benefit the backup management and even IO performance because of the large number of files in on single folder.

thanks!

Can you create another feature request for your folder storage request?

Actually I have forgotten to go back to the asset folder deletion problem. I wanted to get it out and then solve this issue later.
