Delete icons from home screen?

I've added a couple of safari pages to the home screen. How do I get rid of the home screen icons when I don't want them any more? Thanks,
John F

You can only delete icons that you have added yourself, the Apple Apps are not removable.
To delete icon touch and hold your finger on any icon until all the icons start to wiggle on the screen.
The icons that can be deleted will have an X in the corner, touch the X to delete the icon.
You can also rearrange the icons by dragging them around while they are wiggling.
Once you are finished press the home button the lock them in position.

  • Howto remove apple icons from home screen

    Hello!
    How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

    The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.
    So, you will need a different theme that has the features you desire.

  • How do I delete icons in Home Screen?

    Hey guys,
    My sister used my curve and when I got it back, I saw that there was a Myspace icon for the Myspace app on my home screen.  The app isn't downloaded yet, but I can't seem to delete the icon from my screen (I don't want it there).  For now I just have it hidden.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Go to options, advanced options, applications.
    Let the table build and then check to see if you have an application for Myspace.
    If you do highlight  the entry and menu key, delete.
    Do a battery pull and this will delete the icon.
    Some apps are pre set by your carrier. On my Curve I have facebook, part of the
    Verizon setup. I can delete it, but whenever I get service books it is pushed to the
    phone by the carrier and the icon returns. I have created a folder for these apps and
    all others I do not use. By keeping the useless apps in a folder I reduce clutter and
    do not accidentally activate them.
    Thanks,

  • Deleting shortcuts from home screen

    Thanks

  • Closing apps & deleting apps from Home Screen

    Ackkk.  What the manual says will happen isn't what happens. I looked.  Honest. Thing is, I don't always want stuff to keep running in the background.  (E.g., listening to music.  I know I can hit the pause button to stop the song from playing, but I don't just want it paused.  I want it turned off.)  (Make any sense?)
    Bought iPad 2 yesterday, upgraded to iOS 5.0 just fine, did the little ICloud installation just fine, downloaded the "iPad User Guide for IOS 5.0 Software" , and actually read the applicable parts. (I'would point out that the fact that I read the manual is probably because I'm a girl-person and not a boy-person, but that would be sexist.)  (So I won't point that out.)
    Here are the manual instructions I'm having problems with:
    Page 23: Force an app to close: Touch and hold the app icon until it begins to jiggle, then tap "-" (the manual has an illustration showing a little red circle with a minus sign)
    Page 24: Deleting an app from the Home screen: Touch and hold the app icon until it begins to jiggle, and an "X" appears.  Tap X to delete the app ..." (the manual has an illustration showing a little red circle with an X)
    MY PROBLEM: I touch and hold ANY app icon, every app icon on the whole screen begins to jiggle (entertaining, but not helpful ...)  And none of the cute little jiggling icons (including the one I'm holding) shows me any little red circle containing a minus sign OR any little red circle containing an "X" ...
    On Page 25: Move an icon to another screen:  Drag an icon to the right edge of the screen until another screen appears (yadda yadda)". 
    MY PROBLEM: In the manual, it looks like they're dragging one of the standard Home Screen icons from the main home screen to a second screen.  I DID set up a second Home Screen just fine for other apps (Kindle, a game, etc.) but wanted to move some of the built-in icons to that second screen ... when I drag one to the right, it doesn't go off that screen.  (though all the icons start that cute litle jiggling thing.)  Am I stuck with all the icons on the main Home screen just staying there, or am I just not getting it?
    Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
    Annette

    To close an app you first need to open the taskbar by double-clicking the home button (the taskbar will then show at the bottom of the screen and the rest of the screen will 'fade'), and then press and hold one of the apps that show on the taskbar - you should then get the  symbol on those open/recently used apps.
    To move apps you first need to press and hold one of the apps (on the homescreen not on the taskbar) so that they start to shake. Then drag the app (not too quickly) that you want to move and hold it so that it overhangs the edge of the screen - after a second or so the display should then change to the next screen and you can then place the app. You can also move apps via the Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes using the mini-screens that show on the tab.

  • Disappearing Icons from Home Screen

    Has anyone else experienced their icons disappearing from their home screen? Then reappear randomly by either pressing the back key or home key.... It's really weird, but it consistently happens with my Handcent SMS app. Anyone else experience that?

    Cs72313, thank you for your inquiry. That is very strange. I have a Nexus also and have not noticed any of my applications disappearing from the home screen. If this is only happening with Handcent, try uninstalling the application and re-installing. Also check the reviews to see if other Nexus users are reporting this issue for Handcent and alert the developer.

  • Cant delete sms from home screen

    I have my home screen set to the today screen and I can't delete a sms from the home screen

    hi,
    th today screen is just readonly. It shows you what is in your calendar and in your messages box, you can click to go there but not delete it from the today screen.
    that's why I don't use that Theme anymore.

  • Hide settings icon from home screen in an enterprise environment

    Hi,
    This question may have already been answered but I was wondering if there was anyway apart from jailbreaking the iPad, the settings icon can be hidden. I have seen it done before on other iPads that have not been jailbroken. Is there an xml file that perhaps can be written and deployed as a profile to the iPad. A quick response would be appreciated
    Thanks

    I don't know if you can completely get rid of the Settings app, but there a great deal that you can do with the iPhone Conficuration Utility and the Profile Manager is OS X Lion Server.

    I'm not sure why anyone would want to help you if you start a thread by cursing at and berating the people from whom you want help.
    Where did you purchase your phone? What is the model number? What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't been disabled in Restrictions?

  • Can't turn off "dial from home screen"

    I want to allocate shortcut keys to apps. All of the info I've seen says that you have to turn off "dial from home screen" by clicking on the "phone" icon, then clicking on the "menu" icon, then selecting the "General options" item. Trouble is, I don't have a "General options" item - can anyone help me?

    On my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, win 8.1, I am unable to drag the 'download' (arrow) icon from the customize screen on to the tool bar.

    Why can I drag one, and not another?

    You can click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup if there is a problem with customizing the toolbars.
