Review the instructions in this guide published by Apple ➔ How to Delete app(s) from your iPhone.

Note that some native Apple apps (Safari, Health etc.) cannot completely deleted. You can remove these apps from the Home Screen but they will continue to exist in the App Library on your iPhone.

There are times when you cannot permanently delete ANY app. When this happens then you can check your Screen Time settings and restrictions. Set screen time restrictions to OFF and that should resolve the issue.
