as toadling said you can just drop the entire folder.

but as an addition: if you have a "waiting" or "on hold" type context or project, then after dropping the folder, why dont you then create an entry in that location with an item name like "@Dropped - Name of Folder" that way it will still stay on your radar during regular reviews and still be available during searches (its not with dropped by itself) also as an extra benefit if you think you might want to glance at its contents from time to time or during reviews and dont want to have to always switch views to do so, just 'focus' on the folder and 'expand all' then take a quick 'selection screenshot' (cmd+shft+4 and then select area on a mac) and drag it off your desktop to the new @dropped item and now you can glance at it when ever you like but it wont show up anywhere except for where you want it...your review.

as an addition, you can also make a perspective just for dropped items or the particular dropped folder so that you can quickly get to them if needed for editing. (choose Dropped from the view bar’s project filter pop-up menu) if not, like was said by toadling perspectives -->all items or the view bar.

to return to normal:
mark the @dropped item completed, Find the dropped project, then set the project’s status back to Active.


i think this also makes the iphone situation a bit better, hope it helps and isnt too obvious
