Trying to get rid of shortcut button

I installed a cloudy, moveable little button on my home screen. Tried to attach a picture here but cant do it. I touch it & get screen with shortcuts to: Notification Center, Device, Control Center, Home, Voice Control, Favorites. I want to get rid of it but don't remember how I got it! Can you help?

Re: Trying to get rid of shortcut button

I use that for the home button. You can turn it off in settings >General >Accessibility >Toggle off "Assistive touch".

I'm not a fan of it either but others find it useful/necessary. Glad it worked!
