Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

I answered your other question but it appears you meant the home screen like you said.

First try a reset. Press and hold both the home and powerbuttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both fingers. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own. Try deleting a app now. If it still doesn't work try settings> general> reset> reset home screen layout.

You're welcome. As far as I know reset home screen layout won't lose you any apps, I'm just hoping to get rid of the webpage apps. I've read of this problem a couple of times but the specific solution escapes me. If you don't want to do the reset home screen layout for fear of losing something I'd wait until someone comes along with a more definate solution. If worse comes to worse and you can't delete them move them to the last page and put them in a folder, being bookmarks they barely take up any room.
