Restore Default iPhone 5 Home Screen Icons
Note that this is not going to delete the apps that were not on your phone when you first turned it on.

Step 2: Select the General option.
Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Reset.
Step 4: Touch the Reset Home Screen Layout button.
Step 5: Tap the Reset Home Screen button.
