delete missing from home screen to remove bookmarks

Same issue. Delete is not available after long press, and then jiggle. Restart does not help. Seems like so many have this issue and none of the responses work.

Removing a saved Safari Bookmark from a Home Screen should be straightforward. Simply touch-and-hold the Home Screen icon - which should expose an Action Menu - where you can select Delete Bookmark:

If you are unable to delete the saved bookmark, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

I tried all of these things and it still didn’t work

What I finally figured out is that if u have a blocker, like Unpluq, onesec, configured in the screen time restrictions for safari, then on a long press the bookmark icon on the home screen action menu does not contain the "delete" option. If you go into

Settings/Screen Time/Apps with Screen Time Access and disable any apps listed there then the "delete" option will appear in the action menu when u long press the icon on the home screen.

There may be other features/apps that block bookmarks/safari.

This worked!

Go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Store Purchases and look at the setting for Deleting Apps.

Did you every figure this out?

I’m having the same issue and I have not been able to find a solution
