It can't be deleted. It has to be on another page and/or in a folder.

If all else fails, Settings>General>Resets>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Did you try powering the iPhone off and back on? What do you mean by "I tried edit the home screen"? If you tried resetting the home screen layout, you must have done that after you took this screenshot, as that would have reset all of your screens and folders. If that reset didn't work, they you may have to restore the iOS on the phone, and then restore your latest backup.
