- juliano_q 15y agoActually it is not, it is persistent and cannot be removed unless you use an alternate home screen replacement (like Nova Launcher). There is also a widget that you can place anywhere.
- tjoff 15y agoNo. You can remove (with a bit of fiddling) it but to my knowledge you can't reclaim the space it takes (even if you could it would present other issues since it is much smaller than a 1-height widget).

- gilrain 15y agoYou can indeed reclaim the space with, for example, Nova Launcher. My home screen has 5 rows, as a result, and no spacing issues or anything.
