How did I do that, you ask? Let me say it was an I/O error, as in idiot operator! ;)
Yes, I was deleting apps on my third home screen and deleted one too many without thinking very hard about it. Factory reset makes me shudder. Not that I couldn't do it. But I've put a lot of work into configuring things the way I want them. I suppose the right backup might save me from that. On the other hand it's not going to be a problem very often, so I'm cool with the occasional workaround. By the way, I ran into the issue because Siri didn't understand the app name I wanted opened. So I: 1. Deleted the app 2. Enabled add to home screen and app library in Settings. 3. Reinstalled the app. That wasn't that hard. Easier than a factory reset!
