How to remove a custom icon app?

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 :)

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.

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.
