Remove red pins from maps iOS 13

I have 3 pins on my maps that I cannot remove. They are not favorites and they do not have a "Remove" option. They are red bubbles with black pins. Any idea how I can remove them?

I think any old pins transferred to the new iOS have lost remove functionality.


Fix I found worked for me:


Add the pin as a favourite under a new collection.

Create a name for the list (will delete later so doesn’t matter what it is).

Add all pins you want to delete at the same time under that list.

Swipe up to reveal the list and swipe left to delete the list you added them

all in.

Pins should now have disappeared on your map.


You will have to do this for every old pin you want to delete if not deleting them all at the same time.


Hope this helps!
