It just occurred to me that the folder in the app grid persists even if it is empty because I removed all apps therefrom. Is there a way to delete the empty folder? Or did I encounter a bug?
EDIT: see comments to answer below. It apparently is a bug

So I had this problem as well, a folder didn't go away, after it was empty. Here is what worked for me, to get rid of it. Please note that something may happen to your kitty, which I'm not responsible for. ;) Connect via SSH or open a terminal on your phone and go to following folder:
cd /home/nemo/.config/lipstick/
In there is a file named applications.menu. Create a backup and edit this file via your favorite editor. I use nano:
cp applications.menu applications.menu.old
nano applications.menu
Find the Folder that is empty. It may look like this.
<Menu>
<Name>Maps</Name>
<Directory>/home/nemo/.config/lipstick/FolderB21830.directory</Directory>
</Menu>
Delete the whole block and save the file.
Either restart the lipstick service via:
systemctl --user restart lipstick
Or reboot your device. Afterwards the Folder should be gone.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers

seems to be a bug. Couldn't reproduce ist on 2.0.2.48 neither by moving all apps out nor via uninstalling the apps of the folder.
Thank you for your response. It made me try the folder behaviour with my other Jolla and indeed: the folder disappears once there is only one app left in the folder.
However, in the first Jolla, I can have an empty folder and I can put one single app therein - it correctly incates "1" then. It is only the particular one folder that is persistent. I created a further folder by dragging apps upon each other and could delete that folder by removing the apps.
So you are right, it is a bug.
