To remove large icons from your home screen on Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the icon you want to remove.
2. Select Unpin from Start or Delete if it's a shortcut. If it's a system icon, you might need to go to Settings.
3. If you want to personalize your desktop further, right-click on the desktop and select Personalize. From there, you can adjust various settings related to your desktop background and icons.

If you are looking to remove specific system icons, you can do this through the Settings app:

1. Open Settings by pressing Windows + I.
2. Go to Personalization and then select Themes.
3. Click on Desktop icon settings to manage which icons appear on your desktop.

These steps should help you customize your home screen to your liking.
