You can create folders to organize and manage the items you publish to a report server. Creating folders can help users find reports of interest to them. For content managers, folders provide a framework for applying permissions. You can create role assignments on specific folders to restrict access to reports that are in development or that shouldn't be widely distributed.
Create a folder
Navigate to folder or subfolder where you want to locate the new folder. Select the Home folder by selecting the Browse button on the toolbar at the top left of the page to create it at the top of the folder hierarchy.
Select the New button on the top right of the report server toolbar, and then select Folder from the drop-down menu.
In the Create a new folder in (current folder name) dialog box, enter the name of the new folder to be created. A folder name can include spaces, but can't include reserved characters that are used for URL encoding: ; ? : @ & = + , $ / * < > |. You also can't type a series of folder names to create several folders at once.
Select Create to complete the action.

Right-click the folder, and select Delete from the menu.
Select the Delete button in the Delete <foldername> box to confirm the deletion.
