uninstall apps in IOS 14

I am having a problem with completely uninstalling an app in IOS 14, on my Iphone Xr. I have removed the app from the home screen, but need help in removing it from the App library - when I long hold on the app in Library, I do not see the option to remove it from library, then only option I see is Share. Any help is appreciated

If the app is only in the App Library screen, touch and hold the app there and then tap Delete app.


Note that some built-in Apple apps cannot be deleted.

 

If apps cannot be deleted, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
