How do I delete icons on home screen of ipad?

How do I delete large icons from the iPad home screen (under the search bar, if this in fact called the home screen)? Am not referring to the home screen with all the little icons that you can hold to wiggle and X out, but the one under the search bar which is revealed when all web page tabs are deleted.

iPad, iOS 7.0.4, Mini

These icons are apps; you can delete some, but not others.


If tap on an icon for several seconds, all the icons jiggle. That's how you delete apps you don't want. Apps like iTunes Store and Game Center (and several others) cannot be deleted. Others, like Podcasts, have a small circle and "x" on their upper left corner when the icons are jiggling; tap on the circle-x, and you delete the offending app.


Some apps you don't use cannot be deleted, so the only thing you can do is move them somewhere else - like maybe the last page, where you don't see them.
