For some reason I cannot delete apps, even if I go to Settings > Apps > [ app name ].
I completely erased my iPhone and then restored it via backup. Still can't delete apps.
I was messing with Content Privacy and Restriction settings to block some websites and I think this may be related
Any ideas
iPhone SE, iOS 15
Please check: Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions - iTunes & App Store Purchases - Deleting Apps = Allow.

Yeah I played with this as well and nothing happened.
In any case, I got things working again, I can now delete my apps. I backed up the iPhone, did a full reset, and then booted up with the backup. Everything's fine now.
It took a moment after I re-booted for my ability to delete apps to be restored, maybe like a few hours.
I checked those exact settings and I definitely have them configured just as you indicated. I still can’t remove apps from my device. I was always able to do easily until the last update.
It’s annoying that Apple has decided to make it very difficult to free up space on our devices.
