Long press in home screen gives me a choice of Wallpapers, Widgets and Settings. I can also remove things there. The problem is that Google App 4x1 bar on the very top of the screen. I have it, touch it or touch the microphone in there and nothing happens. I long press home screen and it's not there on the screen to be removed. I go to Widgets and choose 4x1 bar and now I got two of them on my home screen, but still can't remove the troublesome one. Heeeelp.

    if you mean the search bar, you can't delete it from the home screen, if i remember correctly.

    I don't want to delete it if I can use it. However, I can press on it or the microphone part on it and nothing happens, making that unremovable bar useless

    probably google now has some permission issue, have a look here:

    if it still doesn't work, try a factory reset before doing a personal data backup:
