Q: How do I remove the "edit button" displayed after clearing the widgets screen in iOS 10?

I just retrograded to installed iOS 10.0.2. Another awful release - almost as bad as i_Tunes 12 - maybe worse. I would like to know if anyone has found a way to get rid of the edit button icon that now sits like a zit in the middle of what was a perfectly functional widgets screen before it got cluttered up with Fisher-Price My Little Pony icons (which I've cleared). Thanks.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

    I'm guessing that Edit button sits immediately underneath the last widget. So if you have no widgets active it's going to be in the middle of the screen ready for the user to add widgets.  If you've cleared all the widgets I'm not sure why you'd be going there anyway.

    He/she is asking because with the new IOS upgrade,when you swipe to open, the widgets come up before the home screen which is VERY annoying! How can I get the widget option away and go directly to the home screen when I swipe to open? Thanks!
