So now they pretty much make you open it when your phone starts. But it seems like everything in my phone is in that folder. I didn't select anything to go into Secure Folder at all but Im afraid to lose things if I uninstall it. How do I know what's going to be lost when i uninstall it if it looks like everything's in it?

You should be able to copy everything in the Secure Folder to your computer or to the NON Secure apps outside of the Secure Folder.

 

  1. Select file(s) > Tap Share > Click More apps.

  2. Choose the app you would like to share out of Secure Folder.

  3. You can then go ahead and Uninstall the Secure Folder if you wish. 
  4. Just make sure that everything you want is available outside of the Secure Folder BEFORE you Uninstall it.
