It’s easy to delete an app folder from your iPhone, and it doesn’t take long (unless you have seemingly endless apps in one folder!) To delete your folder of apps, you'll need to remove the apps from the folder. 

1. Tap and hold the folder you'd like to delete.
2. Tap Remove Folder.
   
   
    
3. Tap Remove from Home Screen.
4. The apps that were in the folder will be moved to your App Library.
   
   

Voila! Your unwanted app folder automatically disappears. You can always reassemble your folder later if you change your mind.
