Hello bellamoe,


It sounds like you've added a website icon to your Home Screen. Bookmarks are independant from website icons. To rremove the webstie icon, edit your Home Screen and remove it. You can learn how to do that here: Move apps and create folders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you're trying to delete a shortcut created with the Shortcuts app from the Home Screen, you can do it using the same steps.


Thanks.
