So what is the intended solution if we want to create shared folders and assign groups to them? Permanently deleting folders is not an option. We create 3-4 folders per project and we do around 1500 projects a year, every folder needs to be a shared folder otherwise we can not assign groups to access them based on the project requirements.

Unfortunately there isn't an option for removing or bypassing this limit; to avoid this error, you'd need to bring the number below the limit, or use a different folder tree/account.
