I only see the little - selection and that only removes from home screen does NOT DELETE, which is what I want to do. I see NO Place to actually delete it! Help!

I want to actually DELETE an app, not merely remove from home screen. There seems to be no way to do this. I have to delete it in order to install an updated version.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

OK so I did something and somehow the actual Delete option came up so I did that. Whew. Thanks. NOW: I have to re-install it from app store but --maybe you can help on this part -- there is only the download option there, not "get." Any thoughts on that? I kind of wanted to actually start over and have an updated version.
