You cannot delete the Lock Screen setup that is active. You must therefore create a new one. Then you can make a "Long press" on your lock screen, find the lock screen you want to delete, swipe up on it, and delete.

Can't customize iPhone lock screen after iOS 16 update After updating to iOS 16 there does not appear to be any way to edit the default Lock Screen. There should be a way to change the photo. Yes, once you create a new Lock Screen then you can ignore the original default Lock Screen, but you cannot remove it. Seems odd. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
