How do I delete Apps when my phone doesn’t give me the option to delete them when I click and hold on them.

How do I permanently delete Apps that don’t give me the option to Delete and instead say they will be removed from my home screen and remain in my Apps? I want them deleted.

iPhone 11, iOS 14
