Deleting apps is disabled on my i phone

Hello, i disabled deleting apps a long time ago (since having iphone 4 or 5 i think) by managing restrictions from the settings, but i can no longer delete any app because I can’t find the restrictions in settings after so many updates, so I can’t delete anything. What do i do?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

First disable the Screen Time Restrictions, if any.

Settings > Screen Time > Contenet And Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps > [Allow]

There are six possibilities

Delete an offloaded App
Delete an App from the Home Screen
Remove an App from the Home Screen - Will be placed in the App Library
Delete an App from the App Library
Delete an inbuilt App - Not feasible
Delete an inbuilt App with one feature - You do not get any options either (e.g. Magnifier)
