I have created folders on my home screen that contain all my apps. Now I want to remove them from the regular screens (not the home screen) ...I don't know what these screens are called...but I don't want to delete them from my phone. The only info I've been able to find re: moving and deleting APPS seems to be confined to the home screen. Any assistance greatly appreciated. I have an S22 Ultra running Android Ver: 14 Thank you in advance. Ian

When you are in your homescreen and drag up you will be shown your apps screen.THEIR HOME This is their place. If you have more apps than fit on the screen you will drag left to see more. You can create some folders there. There they stay unless you delete the app itself. I have got at least six swipes to do before reaching Zoom because I have so many apps. There is a search option at the top of the screen in case you only remember bits of the apps name.
You can create folders there but there is an upper limit. When you click and hold on an icon you will be given the opportunity to delete the app or create an icon to move to the home screen or an app folde or the windows adjoining the home screen. So just forget this app area and put folders or icons on the homescreen or the windows to the righr of it.

Note you can use the bottom row to put folders for apps you want access to all the time.Another nice feature is edge panels. Go to Settings and search for Edge Panels. Probably more useful to you than what you are doing. These list things in whatever number of columns you are allowed including a very useful clipboard column.

In your main app screen it's possible to hide that icon.
I think this is what you're wanting to do
