bitwarden-remove-folders.py

# BitWarden tool to delete folders using bw CLI tool
# You must install the bitwarden CLI tool (https://bitwarden.com/help/article/cli/#download-and-install)
# Create your session as per the instructions on the download page.
# You can replace your session key and use the following to process the results.
# NOTE: I use the utility sh (https://github.com/amoffat/sh) rather then os or subprocess, as I find it easier

import sh
import json

session_key = "Replace me with your session key"

# Sets this instance to use the provided session.
bw = sh.bw.bake('--session', session_key)

folders = bw('list', 'folders')

# The output provided is a string, luckily we can convert this to JSON 
folders = json.loads(folders.stdout)

# Delete all the folders.. Add logic here if you want only a subset.
for folder in folders:
  if folder.get('id'):
    print(f"removing folder {folder['id']} {folder['name']}")
    bw("delete", "folder", folder['id'])

Thank you for the script! Is there an extra indent on line 24? Everything else worked great.

Forked and make a Delete All Collections version: https://gist.github.com/eduncan911/c0f4d789b87c3746a055779a57ff57e5

if you down lod the cli on the mainpage it is currently blocked by issue bitwarden/clients#4040 on Version 2022.11.0
but works on https://github.com/bitwarden/cli/releases // Version 1.22.1

dosent work on windows see https://gist.github.com/KingWaffleIII/f346d737cc9445d938612c93daca7dd5 using subprocess

I had forgotten about this and honestly wasn't paying attention. Glad it's useful to others.

@timskkim You are correct, I updated it. Believe it was a formatting issue due to copy and pasting of a gist.
