Stupid question: if I'm using the new home screen layout feature in iOS 9.3, how does one remove webclips? Wiggle mode is disabled when this is on.

Apps can be removed from Settings > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.

But, I have a cart iPad with a webclip on the homescreen that's named obscenely. It's not a managed item, it was added from Safari.

You can't. Once you turn on home screen layout management, the user isn't able to rearrange anything, so you have to really be sure you want that.

Haha, that's what I thought. The problem is that the user can continue to add things to the home screen, which I'm not sure will work out perfectly.

I might have to skip this feature for now.

Yeah, it's not quite there yet. We'll probably be skipping it for now as well, as it doesn't allow users to do anything.
