Hi All,
Ok decided to make a folder from two apps. iOS named it productivity which wasn't what I wanted. So, by using a two finger double tap and hold I edited the folder and renamed it to ocr. Now here is where it has got weird. Every folder I now have on my phone now says ocr, and then the name of the folder when I enter the folder. So for example I have a weather folder before i would select that folder and it would say weather. Now it says ocr, weather. I removed the two appps from the new folder and it deleted it. However, it still says ocr at the start of every folder I now have even though that folder has gone. Has anyone else seen this? Or has anyone got a clue how I can stop this. I tried renaming one of my folders back but didn't alter things. Very odd. I also did a hard reboot. iOS 11.4.1 iPhone 8. Any thoughts/help appreciated.

Naming folders
Hi there, :)
That is actually not the correct way to name a folder.
By naming the folder Ocr using that method, VoiceOv erassumes each folder should be called OCR folder.
Here's how to fix.
1. Double tap and hold on each folder
2. Remove the label
3. Hit save when finished.
To delete all, set rotor to edit, swipe down till you hear select all, and double tap. Then from your keyboard hit delete.
Hope this helps.

Hi Tunmi, thanks for this. I managed to get this sorted as you described.
Old topic but
Hi All,
So if renaming folders above is the wrong way then does anyone know the correct method for renaming an ios folder to avoid what happened here?
Use the edit mode
On the home screen, swipe down until you hear VoiceOver says edit mode, then double tap. Find your folder and double tap on it, just like you would delete an app. Now, on the left there should be a folder name field. Double tap on it and simply replace the name with the name you want. Hope this helps.
Thanks
Great stuff thanks for this.
