According to what I read the icon stays on your home screen and is greyed out and if you tap it the app redownloads:
If you’re unsure about whether or not you’ll use an app again in the future, no worries; the apps aren’t actually deleted permanently from your phone. All your data and documents will remain on your device—and the apps themselves just turn into grayed-out icons on your home screen—making it easy to re-download and jump back in whenever you want to. Also, if you don’t want your phone to automatically delete certain apps (even if you don’t use them a lot), you can set the offload function for certain ones. If you decide you want to use an app that’s been offloaded, just tap the grayed-out icon and it will re-download, with all your info still there (assuming the app is still available in the app store). -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Jen .

Are they in a folder or somewhere and how do I get them all to come back if I need or want them. Jen -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
