I tried using the emoji hold, drag and drop feature for making new stickers for fun, but now they are using the space for recent emojis. I've tried turning off emoji keyboards, restarting my device, deleting keyboard, etc but they are not going anywhere. If anyone has any solutions to this, please help.
iPhone 16, iOS 18

First, let's be clear about the difference between a Sticker and an Emoji. You make Stickers from photos. Emoji's you typically don't make unless you are using Memoji or Genmoji. You can remove Stickers pretty easily from your keyboard, by pressing the + button to the right hand side of the enter text box. Then press the hour clock icon and then simply hold your finger on any Sticker you made with some force and tap Remove when it appears.
It appears you're not trying to remove stickers. You're trying to remove an emoji. You can't do that. The reason your tabs look different is because you're in the emoji screen, not the sticker screen.
The emoji you appear to be trying to remove is a normal part of iOS emojis.
It doesn’t work. I think the pictures are from an old ios version. My iPhone is at 18.4.1 and its showing the tabs differently and see this happens when I press and hold the sticker.

On the iMessage app.
The pic below is Self-explanatory.
The trick helped. Also, what you think is an emoji, is actually a sticker that was dragged and dropped in the chat (it becomes a sticker).
Thank you for the help. I’ve removed the stickers now.
Thanks for the advice. I have removed them.
You're welcome and glad you got them removed.
