How do I get rid of promoted ads on my home screen

[AC Question]

I just got a new galaxy note 7 edge. New to android, and not stoked about these home screen ads. When I come back to my phone after the two minute lock screen there are ads with a 'promoted' indicator at the top right. How do i get rid of these super irritating ads?

Hi, the ads shouldn't be there - this is a result of an app you've installed on the phone. Remove some of the recently installed apps from the play store until you find the culprit. Do you have a File Manager app installed?
