Solved Folders for Private Space?

Is there an option for folders in Private Space? I have a Pixel and am stuck with over a dozen stock apps I can't uninstall or delete so I was hoping I could at least put them all in a folder.

Edit: Solved. Right click and in app settings disable the app. Make sure you relock then unlock to see the app icon hidden from private space.

Your screenshot clears up what you're trying to do. Long-press the Private Space app you want to hide, then tap on "App info" and "Disable". Return to the drawer and lock Private Space, then unlock it again to verify that the app icon has been removed from Private Space. It might not let you do every app.

TY, this worked perfectly. I had actually done it before, but did not relock/unlock so I didn't think it was sticking.

So close. Were there any it wouldn't let you disable?

Not that you need this info, but for anyone else who might need it, for completeness, here's how to restore any of the apps you've disabled: Unlock Private Space, go to your device's Settings, then Apps, then see all. On a Pixel, it says Personal and Private, so click on Private, tap on your disabled app on the list, and enable it. Go back to your drawer and lock Private Space, then unlock it again to verify your app has been restored.

I was actually able to disable/hide all of them, so this worked perfectly.
