How can I delete a blank home screen that I accidentally added

Zoom out on the homescreen. That should open the screen manager.

I tried it but it doesn't open it

You're using Touchwiz or a 3rd party launcher?

How to change default homepage.

Does anybody have a clue how to do it.

If you are talking about the default TouchWiz homescreen you can pinch (zoom out) on one of the homescreens. This will show all your homescreens like tiles. You can do the same thing with Menu > Edit. Then you can rearrange them by holding and dragging them where you want. The first homescreen (top left) is the default.
If you mean in the browser (assuming default browser) Menu > Settings > Set home page
Yes, I'm aware of that.
What I meant was making screen no. 4 as my default homescreen.
In that case I will always start in the middle of the background.

screen 4 is not too different from screen 1. If you swipe left form screen 1, you arrive at screen 7. Only the wallpaper moves in a strange way.
doesnt solve his issue of wanting to be in the middle of a background though
3rd party launchers can do that, i suppose. Go Launcher EX has that option

yes it has - also launcher pro
This means wallpapers and especially live wallpapers are off center and it's annoying. Some launchers allow you to set the Page you want as home. But is there a way to do it in touchwiz?

Apex Launcher Question

Quick question...seems dumb but I havent been able to figure it out.
When I open the App Drawer, I can only swipe forwards from the first screen.
With TW Launcher I was able to swipe backwards which was helpful for many apps and was a lot quicker in terms of getting to them.
Is there any way to configure this ability in Apex?

Thanks. I did try this initially.
The thing is it doesnt actually scroll from the first app drawer screen to the last when you swipe backwards. It takes you from the first app drawer screen to the "widgets" tab which is at the top of the app drawer, and you need to scroll through all the widgets screen before you get back to apps...

Most of the third part launchers should allow you to swap any home screen icon (app icon, or a shortcut) for a custom image. Apex does.

If you want another page all you have to do is add widget or a shortcut to an app. Just select the widget or app and when the home screen appears, drag the widget/app to the far right edge of the screen. The screen will slide over to a new page. Put the widget there and you have another page

Cool! Thanks for the info.
I haven't had an Android phone for a few years, so I am a bit rusty on some things.
