Android is a popular and widespread operating system that powers millions of phones, tablets and other devices around the world. Since Google created this OS, Android works great with Google apps. Customizing the Android OS "for yourself" is a fascinating affair, especially when it comes to adding widgets - applications that display certain information on the screen (weather, time, the name of the music that is currently playing on the device, geographic location, and so on). Sometimes you can even get carried away and add so many widgets that it becomes clear that something needs to be removed. Actually, this is not a complicated matter, which we will now tell you about.

Steps

1. 1 Go to your home screen. There you will find yourself immediately after unlocking the device.
2. 2 Find an extra widget. From your home screen, look around for unnecessary widgets.
3. 3 Click on the widget and do not release your finger. This way you can move it.
4. 4 Move the widget to the area to be deleted. When you can move the widget, a “Delete” bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. Just move the unwanted widget there without lifting your finger.
5. 5 Release your finger. When the widget is in the “Delete” bar and turns a little red, you can release your finger.

Tips

• To get everything back, you will have to go to the Applications> Widgets menu, select the desired widget there and install it back.
• Get in the habit of locking your device with a strong password so that your personal data will remain yours even after the device is stolen.
