Help How to delete a folder from the app drawer?

[gingersnapgirl]

I managed to create a folder in the app drawer, but can't find a way to delete it. I'm running jelly bean, with Nova launcher.

Can anyone help?

For go launcher you long hold the folder and hit the x anything like this for Nova

when I long press, I get a brief vibration but no X, no menu. Nothing happens.

Try the standard way to delete app drawer folders on the s3.
Open app drawer to the page where the folder is, click left menu button, click edit then it should let you pick up the folder and drag it to the trashcan.

And I couldn't remember how I did it, so I played around a bit to try to figure that out, and I found out how to delete it.

Menu > Nova Settings > Drawer > Drawer Groups > Folder > Long press on the folder > Delete

go me!

And since it appears this is a Nova Launcher issue, not a phone or Android issue, it looks like I've put this in the wrong forum. Since this might be helpful to someone else at some point, would a mod mind moving this to the appropriate forum?

Thanks, but this did not work. I found the solution myself, however, and have posted it in this thread in case anyone else has the same issue.
