Deleting a folder

If I delete a folder with more than 1000 it asks me to bulk delete. After that there 2 steps to delete.

Will this still only delete the folder I wanted to delete? And if I realized I messed up, can I restore that folder again?

  Hey Dirk,
  
  When you use the bulk delete page you can choose the prefix option to only delete assets that start with a certain name or a folder path. For instance, if you want to delete all images stored within a folder called `sample_folder` but retain all other assets in your account, you should check the box next to the prefix option and set the value to `sample_folder/`.
  
  It is advised to have backups enabled and perform an initial backup before performing large-scale destructive operations. However, if you do mess things up to an unrecoverable state, please open a direct support ticket @ https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and let us know right away so that we can try and assist you to recover your lost files. 
  
  Best,
  Raz
