Hello Nanmaca,
There's a couple of different approaches to this. One is to do just what you ask as outlined in these linked documents:
How to delete [third party] apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT207618
Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
The other is to let your device take care of storage optimization:
Click on this link to learn how to optimize the storage actually on the device itself --> "How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch" - https://support.apple.com/HT201656 - "If your device is low on storage, iOS automatically optimizes its available space while installing an app, updating iOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more. To make more storage available, iOS can remove some of your items, like streamed music and videos, files in iCloud Drive, and parts of apps that aren't needed. It also removes temporary files and clears the cache on your device. iOS only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore."
