Hi,
I used to have a security profile that I removed along with some work apps. After uninstalling the profile, these bookmarks somehow stayed on my homescreen. They don’t show the delete option like a regular app, and they’re not from Safari either. I already checked screen time, removed the profile from vpn/management and deleted all possible apps. How do I get rid of them?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
If you had changed any of the following recently.
Based on your image posted, it's possible that the app icon you're seeing on your iPhone with a mesh-like texture is actually a placeholder icon that appears when the original app icon cannot be displayed properly.
This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as when the app has been removed from the App Store or when the app has lost its connection to the App Library. In some cases, this can also happen when there is a problem with the app's icon file or when the app is no longer supported by the developer.
If you suspect that the app is no longer supported or has been removed from the App Store, you can try searching for the app in the App Store to confirm whether it is still available. If you cannot find the app, it is possible that the developer has discontinued support for it.
Finally, it's possible that the mesh-like icon you're seeing is related to device compatibility. Some apps may not be optimized for all iPhone models or iOS versions, which can cause them to display incorrectly. If this is the case, you might try contacting the app developer for support or looking for an alternative app that is compatible with your device.
Alternatively, if you believe that the problem is related to a lost link to the App Library, you can try resetting your iPhone's home screen layout. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. This will reset your home screen layout to its default settings, which should fix any problems with missing app icons or links to the App Library. However, please note that this will also remove any custom app layouts or folders that you have created on your home screen.

Thank you, this is the only solution that worked. Have tried several times in the past without success, until now!
It happened to me too;
move the bookmarks in a page without any other app,
Then enter in ”edit home screen” mode holding down an empty space in Home,
Now click the dots at the bottom of the screen,
Deselect the page with the **** bookmarks and click the symbol that appears in the left corner of the page.
Remove.
Done.
