Hi John,

Interesting, i just had a look and if you press the menu key and go to Nova
Settings, "Desktop" is the first or second option, then "Home Screens" is
the seventh option.  Then it gets tricky - this displays a grid of all your
home screens, which you can explore or swipe through.  To delete one, you
have to locate it, then double tap and hold, and it will vibrate to
indicate it's moving, but then you have to drag it to the top middle of the
screen where visually there is an X and if you drop it on the X, it will
delete it - unfortunately that part doesn't read out or indicate in any
way, so your options for deleting a page are either trial and error to find
the right place to drop the page, or sighted help.

With icons which appear on multiple screens, there are two options - if
they are in the very bottom row, they are likely in the 'dock' - a group of
five icons which appear on every screen - any changes you make to the dock
will appear the same on every home screen, so it's worthwhile setting this
up with things you do actually use regularly.

If they are simply icons which are replicated on multiple pages then yes
you can just delete the excess ones.

Regards

Quentin.
