How to permanently remove widgets from the iPad homescreen?

I have noticed that every time I power cycle my iPad on iOS 15, the widgets I removed return to the homescreen and they ruin my icon layout. I find myself removing them each time I have to power cycle my iPad. It is very annoying. Is there a way to avoid the widgets from coming back?
