Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it 🙂
I've tried playing around with it, but it doesn't do what I wanted.
I suppose it would be better if I could make this filter permanent. If only I could prioritise the apps or just filter out the rest(documents, folders, etc).

I've been having another look around but without much success.
I did wonder if an app like Ccleaner would help, primarily for searching for apps but nahh.. I'll keep looking and maybe someone will read this and have an answer?
