how to remove icons from nexus 5x home screen?

I went into Gmail Contacts on my new Nexus 5X (Marshmallow os) and selected add to home screen twice. I tried to delete one but it deleted the contact out of my Gmail Contacts but did not remove the icons on the home screen. How do I remove the icons from my home screen?

Touch one till it shimmers then slide it up to the Remove option, which will appear near the top of the screen.
