Contact icon on homescreen

[aspidistra]

A couple of years ago a moveable circular icon for one of my contacts suddenly appeared on my homescreen. It's always getting in the way - how do I get rid of it?

Hi @aspidistra and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community 👋 

I assume your using the Samsung Contacts App 🤔 

Have a good look through all your relevant contacts settings and permissions to seeif  that helps to resolve this. 

If not then try > Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

You can also Clear the cache of the contacts app via long holding down on the Samsung Contacts App and tap on the i and choose Storage and Clear Cache. 

If you perform a forum search you may find existing threads with some further help or guidence within.  

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎
