Invisible Folder?

    My DS was using my phone (5s) the other day and ever since I cannot find one of my folders. I go to spotlight search, type in one of the apps I'm looking for and it brings it up but the whole folder is not, anywhere, on my phone... How do I find this folder??? Can folders be made invisible?

    I can type in all the other apps that I know are in this folder when I go into spotlight search and it says it's still on my phone and the folder name is to the right of it. I cannot figure this out!

    Have you try a good old reboot.. I have noticed iOS 8 (if that is what you have installed) can be a buggy at times

    A strange one I should say.. Did the kid maybe move all the apps from folder X to various different folder.. If not, me think it is a bug with iOS 8.1 but trying google can't find anyone else who reported it :o

    I've gone through all the other folders - don't have that many either and the apps aren't in any of them?? I really can't figure this one out. He must be a computer genius!

    I would try this with one of the missing app (one that you don't mind redownloading)

    Go to Settings -> General -> Usage ->Manage Storage -> Select the app and hit Delete App.

    Now go back to App Store and try and redownload the app and see if it shows up then

    FOUND THE FOLDER !!!!!!!

    I deleted an app and It just downloaded to the same folder which was stuck inside a folder within another folder :confused: but I've found it now and dragged it back to where it should be.

    THANK YOU!
