A method comprising: at a multifunction device with a display: displaying a plurality of selectable user interface objects on the display; detecting a first input (5040a, 5042); in response to detecting the first input (5040a, 5042), moving a first object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects across the display to a location on the display that is proximate to a second object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects; detecting that the first input (5040a, 5042) meets predefined folder-creation criteria while the first object is proximate to the second object; and, in response to detecting that the first input meets the predefined folder-creation criteria while the first object is proximate to the second object, creating a folder that contains the first object wherein the folder contains the second object, and wherein creating the folder includes: displaying a folder icon associated with the folder that provides a visual indication of a spatial arrangement of the first object and the second object within the folder, characterised in that the method further comprises: after creating the folder, automatically displaying a folder view that includes the contents of the folder; and while displaying the folder view that includes the contents of the folder: receiving a request to remove a selectable user interface object (5002-4, 5002-13) from the folder view, wherein the selectable user interface object is one of the first object and the second object; in response to receiving the request to remove the selectable user interface object (5002-4, 5002-13) from the folder view: removing the selectable user interface object (5002-4, 5002-13) from the folder; and if the selectable user interface object is the last remaining selectable user interface object in the folder: ceasing to display the folder view; ceasing to display the folder icon; and deleting the folder. displaying a plurality of selectable user interface objects on the display;
