On my iPad, it does not show the option to delete the app, it just shows ‘remove app from Home Screen ’. I am confused and would like to remove my apps, because they are using lots of storage, but I cannot delete them.
Thank You!

Not all Apps can be deleted from your iPad. Some Apps are integral to iOS/iPadOS; Apps that can’t be deleted can only be removed from the Home Screens, but not from the App Library.
For Apps that can be deleted, if you are experiencing difficulties, check your ScreenTime permissions…
Here are the relevant ScreenTime restrictions:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps
Either property can be set to Allow or Don’t Allow; the latter will inhibit this action.
