Unable uninstall/delete apps

I am trying to delete apps that I have installed. They all only allow me to remove from Home Screen and they still show up in my storage.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Can you delete the app from Settings > General > iPhone Storage > [app name] and press Delete App at the bottom?


Note that not all apps can be deleted.. if you're trying to delete one of the built-in apps

Hide the App:

See what happens when you hide the app in the App Store. Once deleted, the app would not show up in your Purchase History, until you unhide it once more.
