    You don't actually uninstall the widget from your home screen; you just delete it. And no, if you delete a widget from your home screen, it doesn't uninstall the app itself.

    My widget (time and weather) will not uninstall by dragging it. Also, I cannot figure out what app it is as none appear to have either of those words in them.

    Many apps, like the default clock and weather apps, have multiple widgets available for each of them, and their app counterparts cannot be deleted. In this case, disable them instead to remove the widget. You can find more about disabling apps at wikihow.com/Disable-Apps-on-an-Android-Device
