Writer Rachel Davis

You can find a huge number of shortcuts available for the Shortcuts app, with new ones being added on a daily basis, and if you want to try them out, you should add them to your library. This invariably results in a cluttered library, so you’ll want to get rid of the books that you don’t read anymore to make room.

Delete shortcuts from the app’s library is similar to removing an app from your iPhone or iPad’s Home Screen – simply long press on it until all of the shortcuts begin to “wobble,” then tap any shortcut that you want to remove until a blue check appears next to it, and you’re done. To delete all of the items you’ve selected, tap the trash can icon located in the upper right corner of the screen. 

After confirming that you would like to delete the shortcuts, the shortcuts will be removed from your library as a result of your actions.
