Bookmarks are a great way to quickly access the websites and pages you visit most often. They save you time by allowing you to quickly jump to the pages you need without having to type in a long URL or search for them in your browser history. But if your bookmarks become cluttered and unmanageable, it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for.
Today, we’ll show you how to delete bookmarks on the home screen of your device so that you can keep your list of favorites organized and easy to navigate. We’ll also give some tips on how to best use bookmarks and organize them for maximum efficiency.

This will open up a list of all your saved bookmarks. Tap on one of the bookmarks and then tap on the “Delete” button in the upper-right corner of the page. This will remove that bookmark from your list. You can also select multiple items at once by tapping on each one while holding down the “Shift” key or by tapping and dragging across them with one finger. Once selected, tap on “Delete” again to remove all selected items at once.
