Deleting and Adding Panes

LET’S SAY YOU’VE GOT a pane tricked out with widgets, shortcuts, and folders. You decide that you’d like it all to go—every widget, every shortcut, every folder. Rather than deleting them one by one, you want to delete them in one fell swoop. To do it, you’ll delete the entire pane, so that rather than the Home screen and six panes, there will be the Home screen and five panes. Fear not, though, because you can also add a new pane back.

To delete a pane, when you’re on the Home screen or a pane, press the Menu key and select Edit. Thumbnails of the Home screen and all the panes appear, including even smaller thumbnails of the widgets, shortcuts, and folders on each of them. At the bottom of the screen you’ll see a trash icon.

Drag the pane whose content you want to delete onto the trash can. It turns red. Release your finger. You’re asked if you want to delete it. Answer yes, and the pane, including all of its content, will be deleted. The thumbnails appear again, but this time there’s a big + sign instead of the former pane. Tap it, and a new blank pane is added.
