Is itpossible to delete gmail accounts from my Galaxy S8 plus, and keep it in my Secure Folder only?

[AC Question]

After learning how to use the Secure Folder, I added my gmail accounts to the secure folder. Now I want to remove my gmail from the unsecure General population and just have it in the Secure folder. Please advise?

I'd like to know if there is a way to remove any apps from the general app drawer. I was just trying out the secure folder for the fun of it and found that when I put an app there it did not remove the app from the app drawer. Am I doing something wrong?

I discovered you can have multiple ways to add apps into the secure folder. For most of my apps I installed from the regular side and then added it to the Secure folder.

If you only want the app to appear in the secure folder, you can uninstall it from the regular side. However, I noticed that if you do this, those apps don't auto-update. To update them, you have to manually install it again, then uninstall it.

[SUB]I just verified this -- I found one app that I had exclusively in Secure Apps but it was an older version. I installed it again, then immediately uninstalled it.[/SUB]
