I was rearranging the tiles on my windows 10 start page and inadverdantly passed the tile I was moving over another tile and made I guess a folder for lack of a better term. Now my one tile is in this folder tile and I cannot delete it. When I right-click the only option I have is "resize".

To open the folder you click on it, it should show the contents and then you can just drag them out again. You get all the usual commands on them inside the folder. did you try to drag the tile out of the folder, it might let you delete it then.

Folders are a new feature of the start menu, I made one to include tiles i don't need to see all the time but are handy to have. I never noticed you could reduce its size...
