Welcome to Android Central!

How do I remove the recently used/opened apps bar at the top of the apps page?

Go to Settings>Google>Search, scroll to the bottom, and turn off App Suggestions.

Also how do I rename apps?

This is not possible using the Google Now Launcher. Not sure about the Pixel Launcher, though.
