press and hold icon you want to remove. then drag it into the tab, which is turned into a trashcan icon.

Remember that another kind of shortcut you can do is the search shortcuts which are found in the application menu in the settings. [Its under quick launch].. I know when I use sidekicks they're convinient.. i have yet to begin really using it on the G1's

Hiya, i had the same prob. Turns out if you touch and hold down the shortcut you dont want anymore it will vibrate and you'll be able to drag it to a trash can icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. This ditches the shortcut :) Sorted

So that works for most of my shortcuts.
But a few of my shortcuts(such as email, calender and webbrowser) will only open up if I touch and hold down..
Anyone know how to fix this or an alternative method to removing them?
Please?:confused:

You press down on the icon and the bottom of the screen will have REMOVE on it or will be a trash can.
Keep pressing it as you drag it to the bottom of the screen and it'll be removed.

This should be in your phone's instruction manual

I had the same issue. I resolved it by terminating Swype which was running in the background. If you're not using Swype, then some other application may be interfering with home screen management.
