Understand Android’s limitations. Since each manufacturer integrates different menus for their Android devices, your phone (or tablet) will not be able to remove app icons from the home screen.

Open another screen (if necessary). If you have multiple home screen pages, swipe the screen to the right to view all the pages until you see the page with the app icon you need to delete.

Find the icon you want to remove. Note that icons on the home screen are just links to installed apps, not apps – removing the icon won’t remove the app from Android’s app store.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7d/Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7d/ Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-5-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try touching and holding the app icon. Some Android OS developers put the option to delete apps via touch-and-hold, so you can just touch and hold the app to see if the menu shows up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/90/Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/90/ Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-6-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select “Remove” or “Delete”. When the menu is displayed, you find an appropriate option to remove the application icon; If you see an option you want to use, just tap it.
Tip: If you don’t see a “Remove” or “Delete” option, skip this step.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/17/Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/17/ Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-Icons-from-the-Android-Home-Screen-Step-7-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Touch and drag the app to the top of the screen. If you don’t see the menu when you tap-hold the app, look for the “Remove”, “Delete” option or see the trash can icon at the top of the screen; If you see that option, drag the app to the top of the screen and release it.
- On some Android devices, you’ll drag the app onto the X and drop it there.
- Skip this step if there is no “Remove”, “Delete”, trash can icon, or X option at the top of the screen.

Move the application to another home screen. If you don’t see the “Delete” or “Remove” option, tap and drag the app icon you want to hide to the right edge of the screen, hold until another home screen appears, and release the app there. This will not remove the app icon from the home screen, but will hide it from the home screen.
