Hi ... How can I remove Widgets from the Widget Menu ? Not from the home screen but from the menu , I try to hold down a widget but all that does is pop up a home screen as to where to place it . Thx

You can't remove Widgets from the App Drawer. Widgets are usually part of an app, so you need to uninstall the app (or they're system widgets, which you can't uninstall anyway unless you're rooted). What widget are you trying to uninstall?

Mostly from the apps ones . It just seem to have many and some apps have more than one widget which I will never use , though I will use the app but I don't need to have the extra widget .

You shouldn't have to look at that Widget list too often anyway, since it simply shows the Widgets you have available. But mattatwar1 is correct, there are 3rd party launcher apps like Nova Launcher that allow you to hide apps or widgets in the App Drawer.

1. Open "Settings" and go to "Application Manager" (On some devices, Apps)
2. Go to "All" tabs and tap the Widget to uninstall
3. Hit "Uninstall" and confirm the process
