To properly test and demonstrate the recursive deletion behavior of DeleteFolderRecursive, it is recommended to create a nested subfolder structure inside the target folder. Otherwise, the test only deletes an empty folder, which does not fully exercise the recursive aspect of the API.

  CreateFolder(client, {bucket_name, folder_id});
  CreateFolder(client, {bucket_name, folder_id + "/subfolder"});
  DeleteFolderRecursive(client, {bucket_name, folder_id});
