To remove Secure Folder on Galaxy devices:
Method 1 (via Secure Folder app): Open Secure Folder, go to settings (three-dot menu or gear icon), and choose "Uninstall."

Method 2 (via device settings): Open device Settings, find "Security" or "Security and privacy," locate "Secure Folder," and choose "Uninstall."

Important: Back up data before uninstalling, as it will be erased.

Note: Steps may vary slightly by device and Android version.

Yes, you can hide the Secure Folder icon from the app drawer. Here's how:

* Open Secure Folder: Access the Secure Folder app on your Galaxy device.
* Access Settings: Look for a three-dot menu icon or a gear icon within the Secure Folder app. Tap on it to open the settings menu.
* Hide the Icon: In the settings, find an option that says "Add Secure Folder to Apps screen" or something similar. It might be a toggle switch. Turn this option OFF.

This will remove the Secure Folder icon from your app drawer, making it less visible. You can still access Secure Folder through your device's settings menu if you need to.

That small icon appears while you're in the Secure Folder and indicates its active state. There's no setting to hide it.

The only way to remove it is to exit the Secure Folder environment. I just tried making secure folder and found this result.

**bleep**. It's a big issue for me because people can just look at it and figure out that I have an alternate app for it yk? They'll know I'm doing some sketchy **bleep** (even though Im not)

Just let it be, don't care for others (they'll just judge always even you do something or not). Hope One UI 7 will give Secure Folder some more improvements.
