I can’t remove shortcuts from my Home Screen on iPhone SE 2020 running iOS 17.1.2

Hey Xxmaclhrjs,

Try to reset home screen layout Go to Settings > General > Home Screen Reset.

This will return your Home Screen to the default layout, removing any custom shortcuts. You can then re-add the shortcuts you want.

Successfully Deleting a Shortcut on an iPhone:

A. Close All Apps:

These Apps may be open. So, save what need be, and then close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up form the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.

B. Perform a Force Restart:

Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart. See if you can then perform this. Go Here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support

“Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear enough, but I meant that I would like to delete the Shorcuts Home Screen Icons as shown in the screenshot, I would like to remove all those from the Home Screen.”

Thank you for the screenshot.

Removing Items from Home Screm:

Hold you finger on it until it wiggles. Then remove it. Works just fine for me. Note that some items just can’t be removed.
