I went a little crazy with downloadingg apps and need to delete a lot. Is there any way of arranging what ins left automatically when I am done as opposed to manually doing it?
iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iOS 5.1
No.
No.
You can reset the Home screen layout (Setting app, General, Reset - you will need to scroll down to find it).
Caveat - I've never had to do this with a sizable number of apps and folders in place, so not sure what it does to the folders.

It should destroy any folder structure, because this resets the home screen to the "out of the box" screen layout......
According to anything that I have ever read about it anyway.

I would assume that's the case. The only time I tried this was when the new IPad was brand new and I beleive I only had a couple of dozen apps downloaded at the time, and no folders set up. Honestly don't remember. I learned to avoid the "hog wild" approach to downloading apps, even free ones, a long time ago. 😁 I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but eventually I DO learn a thing or two.

Likewise!

Yep. It kills all the folders and puts you right back to pages and pages of apps.
when you click reset home screen layout it destroys all folder structures. Apple would need to make it so that all folder retains. if you have 200 apps it can be a very long day. Aranaging all of them.
Yeah - that was established in this thread eight months ago.
There should be an option over here, where we can forward the entire thread to feedback.

That makes no sense

You can request such an option here:
But isn't it simple enough just to type in your feedback? Or copy and paste your post?
Tongbú can do this.
It has a feature called "Smart Icons" in its icon manager.
It's actually very extensive the options it gives you. You can even chose to ignore existing folders as well as the first, second and third homescreens.
Even select what categories you want it to use.
I just use it in Sandboxie along with the Run as admin option (which is in sandboxies window). Everything works fine with no ill effects.
This works in all versions of iOS except for 9 as far as I know.
Part of the app is in chinese and i think there is only a windows version but im not sure.
apple should update their OS to have this options - auto arrange icons and delete multiple apps.
this query is very clear, asking about auto arrange icons then replies are very far from the query... auto arrange? to Reset Screen Layout? what's the point.
Is there anyway to auto arrange icons?
