The following code removes all AudioFile objects, but does not clear the folders in the Asset Browser or on disk.

```auto
var audioFiles = studio.project.model.AudioFile.findInstances();
while (audioFiles.length > 0) {
    studio.project.deleteObject(audioFiles.pop());
}

```

It wasn’t clear to me that the folder for an `AudioFile` would be an `EncodableAsset`, but it appears that you can use one of the following to remove the folders:

```auto
var audioFileFolders = studio.project.model.EncodableAsset.findInstances();
while (audioFileFolders.length > 0) {
    studio.project.deleteObject(audioFileFolders.pop());
}

```

OR

```auto
var masterAssetFolders = studio.project.model.MasterAssetFolder.findInstances();
while (masterAssetFolders.length > 0) {
    var masterAssetFolder = masterAssetFolders.pop();
    while (masterAssetFolder.assets.length > 0) {
        studio.project.deleteObject(masterAssetFolder.assets.pop());
    }
}

```
