The Settings App can be removed from your iPad's Home Screens and the Dock, but it cannot be removed from the App Library.


Completely deleting the Settings App would leave you unable to manage many services to which you connect, or configure/change any settings at all on your iPad - and for this reason, the Settings App must remain accessible.
