When I long press the app to delete it, I get the options to remove app, share app, or edit home screen. When I press remove app, I only get the option to remove it from the home screen which places it in the app library but does not delete it. How do I delete an app?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
you can delete from the App Library by locating the app and tap/hold, select Delete App
or you can go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > [app name] > Delete
If you still are unable to delete, check:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps
make sure that's set to 'Allow'

Thank you. This solved my problem. I had tried deleting from the App Library, but it only gave my the option to share the app. I had seen the suggestion elsewhere to delete from the settings app, but it was incomplete. Your explanation was thorough and explained all the steps.
no problem, glad to be of help!
Option to delete apps is gone
