Hey there patpatatipatata,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
You have two options available. You can recreate the folders and place the apps back inside. Or, you can also restore a recent backup of your iPhone. Since it’s only one folder missing, it may be faster to recreate it. However, restoring your device may take a bit longer.
If you’d rather restore your recent backup to get the folder back, here’s how: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support. Right below this section shows you how to restore a computer backup.
However, any new information or apps that you’ve added to your device will be overwritten by the content of the backup you choose. Here’s how to locate the latest backup: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards.

I restart the iPhone and the folders (ALL of my +40’folders organizing my apps) reappeared.
Since then it disappeared again a couple of times Nd it reappears when I restart.
This looks like an Apple BUG
Thanks for getting back to let us know patpatatipatata.
If you have already updated your iPhone to iOS 16.3 that Apple released a couple of days ago, then you will want to reach out to Apple Support directly to see if they can offer additional steps you can try.
Good luck!
