Delete a Bookmark (Add to Homescreen) from Homescreen - no Screentime set

Somehow I ended up with a bookmark on my homescreen which I cannot delete.

When long-pressing the icon it does not have an option "Delete Bookmark".


It is the same issue described here before (no solution provided):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Found a solution myself:

  • long press any icon
  • Edit Home Screen
  • move Bookmark to a completely new homescreen
  • press dots on bottom of screen
  • homescreens appear
  • uncheck the new one with the bookmark
  • minus icon appears on top of this home screen
  • press minus icon
  • iOS asks if youo are sure to remove this bookmark as it will not appear in app gallery
  • confirm


Congratulations, you have now deleted the undeletable bookmark.
