Alright i had the same problem a few weeks a go and it was a pain in the ass, it took me forever to figure out how to remove icons from the home screen,
anyways, what you have to do is remove the icon from your shortcut menu (the one that appears from just tapping the screen) and then it should no longer be on the home screen.
after you do this you can re-add the icon to your favorites menu.
Hope this helped.
