Question

Can I password protect a folder?

Community Answer

No, but you can try to hide it on a new page in the back of the home screen. This is not very secure, though

Question

How do I delete a folder?

Community Answer

When all apps are removed from the folder, it should delete itself. Scroll through each page in the folder and make sure every app inside is placed somewhere else.

Question

Can I customize the color of the folder?

Community Answer

It depends on which version of iOS you are using. If you have the newest one, you should be able to. It will show up as a dot in the corner of the folder.
