Segments and content groups share folders. Any folder you create in the segment or the content group interface is added to the path atg\registry\RepositoryGroups and can store assets of either type. However, in the segment interface, content groups are hidden, and in the content group interface, segments are hidden. For this reason, if you attempt to delete what appears to be an empty folder in either interface, you may see the following error message:

Error: Cannot delete the folder because it has contents which may not be displayed in the current view.

The error occurs because the folder you are trying to delete contains items that are hidden because they are not the type of asset you are editing.

The same error can appear if other types of filtering are occurring. For example, if you are working in a project that references the external user profile repository, assets that apply to internal users are hidden.
