how to delete CUSTOM app icons from iphone?

I was playing with custom icons for my website and through this process discovered that custom icons do not act like regular ones when it comes to deleting them.


On the phone, holding down on the custom icon allows me to move it but no delete-x appears and a similar dearth of deletion options are available via iTunes - mind you, all other icons act as they should in this regard so I don't think this is a glitch, per se.


I am using an up--to-date iPhone 4 and iTunes (as of 1-19-2013)


Any clues? I really don't want two of my own site's icon on my homescreen - it looks a bit odd, you know?


Thanks in advance.

iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.2

It sounds like you may have your Restrictions set to not allow app deletion .


Go into Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Deleting Apps is "on"
