I looked in my shortcuts and couldn’t find anything. Looked through the community and all the related topics were dated so I feel like I must be missing something here. Bottom line is there’s no minus sign to remove it from the Home Screen.
I’m not really sure what I can do at this point, would very much appreciate the help :)
You’ll need to provide a little more information about the nature of the problem.
How did you introduce your “custom App icon” to your Home Screen? Does the App icon relate to an installable App from the App Store - or is something that you have created? Where you experimenting with the Shortcuts App - possibly installing a shortcut icon?
Posting a screenshot here may help you to both explain the issue in sufficient detail - and for contributors to better under the problem.

Of course! I will clarify.
Yes, I am using the Shortcuts App to run a shortcut using the “open app” action and changing (but not replacing) the app with a custom look. The app isn’t deleted and is still functioning, I would just like to know how to remove the custom version from my Home Screen.
Having added a shortcut to your Home Screen using the Shortcuts App, you should be able to delete/remove the icon from the Home Screen - in exactly the same manner as you might expect while in “jiggle mode”.
Something else is going on here…
Is your iPad centrally managed by a business or educational establishment?
As the iPad is centrally managed, there are very likely management policy restrictions applied to your iPad.
As such, you will need to seek assistance from the System Administrator that manages your iPad - as without their help you will not resolve your issue.
I checked my other iPad and found out that I was able to remove the shortcut and see it in the Shortcuts App. I understand that there isn’t much I can do but is there a way I can access the shortcut through the app or some other way, even if it’s just to edit it?
I did, couldn’t seem to find any changes.
It is actually.
Okay, thank you for letting me know. I will see later today if the it is the same situation with my other iPad.
Thank you for your time!
You are very welcome. Do return to thread with an update.
