I want to actually delete an app completely.

I want to actually delete an app completely, not just put it in my library. Some sites I have seen say that I will get an option to delete it completely or just move it off the home screen but keep it in the app library. I am not getting an option to completely remove it along with any data. How can I do this? I am using iOS 14.4.2

I want to delete an app. I tried removing from Home Screen but there are no other options of deleting from phone. It’s stays in my library. How do I delete the app from my phone to free up storage. I tried holding the app icon but it would only say that it will be removed from the Home Screen. It is still in my library. And in the settings there is no way of deleting it because it just shows the data info and nothing else.

Turn off Screen Time, delete the app and then turn Screen Time back on.
