Fix not being able to delete folder in data-model

[Nitwel]

Due to folders not being represented as a collection in the DB, the request would fail as it would try to delete a non existing collection.

@Nitwel thanks! Mind adding a e2e test case for deleting collections? That way we can make sure this doesn't happen again 🙂

@Nitwel

easy fix here is to use toEqual instead of toBe 👍🏻

In Jest, it's always the question of toBe or not toBe

Is there any way to force delete a folder pending this to be released? I don't have (easy) direct access to the database so using the app/API would be ideal.

You should be able to use the folders endpoint to delete it still:

I tried this last week but got a similar error as in the app. I however solved it by accessing the database directly for now.
