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.

Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases


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