Hey amiliar,


You should be able to delete shortcuts using these steps:


  1. "In the Shortcuts app  on your iOS or iPadOS device, tap Edit.
  2. Tap one or more shortcuts (a checkmark appears in the upper-right corner to indicate selection), then tap Delete.
  3. Tap Delete Shortcut."Delete shortcuts on iPhone or iPad


If the issue continues, consider offering additional information to help the community guide you to a resolution.


  • Which exact iOS 16 version are you using?
  • When you say shortcuts, do you mean app icons?
  • Have you restarted your device?



We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
