Added websites to my Home Screen won’t delete

I have often added websites I intend to go back to frequently to my Home Screen. The usual way, I have never had a problem deleting them until I assume the 14 update before this last one (which I only just did) I get two options (share bookmark or edit Home Screen) I’ve exhausted everything I can think of. Please help!

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Is this the case with just the added websites OR is it also the case with all apps and icons on your home screen? If you cannot delete other apps as well then you may have screen time restrictions set to ON.

Open Settings ➔ Screen Time ➔ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➔ iTunes & App Store Purchases ➔ Deleting Apps : Set this to ALLOW.

Try this:

Settings -> General -> Usage. See if the shortcut is here, and delete it. Afterwards, restart the phone.

This is a longshot. You can also try clearing all your internet history in Safari.
