Check Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes and App Store Purchases > make sure Deleting Apps is Allowed.

Also note: Content & Privacy Restrictions must be enabled to see and make changes.


Please check: Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions - iTunes & App Store Purchases - Deleting Apps = Allow. 


This should allow you to delete apps. Also see this, Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone - Apple Support
