Widgets
My weather app was accidentally deleted and when I put it back on
my home screen it’s 4 times as big as the other widgets. It was always the same size. Is there a way to get back to the original size/widget?
iPhone 11, iOS 16

What you had originally was the Weather app, not a widget.
The larger icon is for the Weather widget.
Apps can be removed from the home screen without being deleted. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it to the home screen.
Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
If Weather isn't in the App Library, then it was deleted. To reinstall it, see the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Restore a built-in app that you deleted
