Unwanted Widgets can be easily removed from your Home Screen. Simply long-touch any empty area of a Home Screen until the icons start to jiggle; each icon/Widget will now have a small “x” badge. Just tap the “x” on any icon/widget that you wish to delete. When you are finished, just tap any free space to end the editing process.
