Can't delete apps from app library I've turned on deleting apps like below but it still only gives me the option to share the app. I can't move or delete any apps from the library... is there another setting I need to adjust?

Deleting apps When i go to the app library to delete an app i press and hold the icon a menu opens asking if i want to share the app or add it to the home screen. wtf am i doing wrong? seemed a lot easier to simply delete it from the home screen. why the added step of annoyance?
