Ok, I found my solution and it was very obscure...
- click screen time.
- content and privacy settings
- iTunes and App Store purchases
- deleting apps set to allow.
after doing this I could delete on my watch or on my iPhone watch app!

I've tried everything suggested. Still can not remove unwanted apps and update my watch!!!! So frustrating.
Thank you thank you!!! This worked!
This WORKS! The other "helpful" instructions DO NOT work unless your settings mirror this!
Doesn't work. No "x's" on apps. Ugh!

Tap on screen time.
Then content and privacy settings
Then iTunes and App Store purchases
Then deleting apps set this to allow.
Install apps set this to allow.
Was set that way already!
Where do I find 'screen time'
This worked for me! I have no idea why that was set to not allow on deleting apps. I didn’t know this area existed so I know I didn’t change this. Lol
I've tried this and I still can not delete apps on my watch. Not sure what else to do! So annoying!
Thank you worked for me too
Can’t update because not enough storage. Only 3 apps in use. Can’t delete any.
that solution worked for me too.
very helpful.
thanks
