How do I move an app from the files folder to my Home Screen
I have accidentally moved an app into my files folder. I have no idea I have done this however. How do I move it out of the folder and onto my Home Screen?

Hi there. Thank you for your message. I’m not sure if my question was clear. I have somehow managed to move an app into the ‘Files’ folder. This is an iPhone folder that has not been created my me. I want to move the app out of the folder.
I’m not trying to hide anything, I am trying to move an app from the ‘Files’ folder onto the home page or any page that’s not in the files app. The ‘Files’ folder is an Apple folder, it is not a folder I have created and it doesn’t have the same functionality as a folder I would create.
if I do click and hold the app within the files folder I get the following options:
Copy
Delete now

I am using an iPhone 12 with iOS 14.4.2
Open the folder, tap and hold the app until it wiggles, tap edit layout, tap and move the app out of the files folder
I meant to say Files folder (not files app)
