You can get rid of it by taking all the apps out of it.
open folder
hold down an app till they flash
drag each app out of the folder
when they are all out, the folder will disappear
But it will reappear each time you bridge.
Perhaps you can utilize it for some apps.
I took everything out as well. Not a fan of the folder, would rather have everything in front of me. Sucks that it appears at the top left as well all the time.
