Removes the rule for the folder in the folder query, so the folder is open again.

`DELETE /orgs/{org}/folder-rules`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Remove a folder's rule. |
| What does it take? | `org` in the path, and `folder` in the query string. |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the folder path breaks the rules (orgs.rule_invalid; details.reason is bad_folder); `401` not signed in; `403` only the owner may (orgs.forbidden), or the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such organisation, or the caller is not a member of it; `429` too many requests; `503` organisations are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |

## What it does

Removes the rule for the folder in the folder query, so the folder is open again. A folder with no rule answers the same, 204. Only the owner may.

## Path parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `org` | `string` | yes | The organisation's id or its slug. |

## Query parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `folder` | `string` | yes | The folder the rule restricts, with every folder inside it: names from the outermost in, joined with a slash, with no slash at either end. |
