Delete widgets in a stack

I have IOS 14.0.1. I ended up with 2 widgets in different stacks. So I wanted to delete one of those widgets. I can long press to expose the edit stack menu, then it will only let me re-arrange the widgets within the stack. It will not let swipe to or from the left to delete the widget.


Please help - very frustrated


Why does this method work on an iPad 7th Gen but not on an iPhone 11 pro.
