how to remove google search screen from home page

[Android Central Question]

Tried rebooting after disabling google but the blank search screen bar remains

Long-press it and slide it to wherever you want it, which could be another page, or removal to the widget locker if you don't want it at all. There's no need to disable Google.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Many launchers don't allow you to remove the Google search bar widget. In those cases, you can always install a 3rd party launcher like Nova, which is very versatile.
