Are the extra icons that you see part of your chosen Wallpaper image? Try changing your Wallpaper to a different image.

Why do my iPad icons keep rearranging after iPadOS 18? As soon as I updated my iPad to iOS 18, I took advantage of being able to place the icons anywhere. But for some reason, if I shut it down and turn it back on, the apps are rearranged. This happens sometimes overnight as well. I have updated to every other version of iOS 18 released to see if it will fix it, but as of 18.2.1, the issue still persists. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
