Why has the delete app option been removed? I can only delete on Home Screen, app remains in library forever. Not happy.

How do I permanently delete my iPhone XS downloaded apps? I don't want to save any information or data. That function appears to have been disabled. I can only delete on Home Screen but app remains in App Library.

Is Deleting Apps marked allow? If it is not, change it allow, then you can delete the app you want to delete.
