How to remove shortcuts from homescreen?

Hello, how do you remove shortcuts from homescreen? This video shows what it looks like from my phone, and I can't remove them. I already removed the shortcut from the shortcut app, but it still shows. Please help, thanks!

I’ve held down the shortcut on my Home Screen and it just says edit Home Screen. I’ve used this to replace the original app icons, and now I can’t remove it. When I choose edit Home Screen the shortcuts just shake, but with no way to remove them. I need answers because this is very frustrating. I find it interesting that a lot of people are having the same problem as me. I really hope that this isn’t a permanent issue, and I hope that there is a way to fix this. Thank you!
