Setting up Blu Life One X2 phone. Android 6.0 is installed, this is first time using this version. Trying to remove some apps from home screens. Long press of icon only brings up "App Info" and I was expecting to see "Remove/Uninstall" which do not show up.

Any advice? Ideally I want the long press to show "Remove/Uninstall". Less ideal, would be ot just way to remove icons from home screen with long press behavior remaining as "App Info"

Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like the phone's launcher is the kind where there is no App Drawer, and so all apps are on the homescreen. The ones you can't uninstall are preinstalled/system apps. All you can do with those is put them in a folder (or possibly Disable them -- check the App Info page to see if there's a Disable button).
