Ok, I give. I know it's buried somewhere in the archives here but I can't find it.

When I first set this phone up, I 'hid' a bunch of useless apps that came with the phone instead of deleting them. Now I can't find the hidden apps folder to delete them.

Yesterday I got a warning that all/most of those apps were using too much background power and need to be shut down.

Any idea where this hidden folder is at so I can permanently delete this useless fluff?
 
Did you check in your apps section in settings? They should be listed there even if you hid them from the apps screen.

Usually built-in apps can't be removed, you'd have to disable them.

Long press empty page on your home screen then tap home screen at bottom >tap hidden apps
 
A full app list can also be accessed from the Settings app. Tap Settings (the icon looks like a gear). In Settings, tap Apps & notifications, then tap See all apps.
