when I try and delete an app I tap and hold it and it only lets me “edit Home Screen” or “remove app from Home Screen” but that just means it’s in App Library and not actually deleting. I checked and deleting apps is allowed.

Restarting you iPhone was a good trouble-shooting step to take.
The tips in this article may help remove the app from both Home Screen + Library:
Remove apps from iPhone - Apple Support

If you still can't remove the app(s):
If you do not have "automatic" set for updates, you might want to check if you have the latest update for iOS 16: About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 16.6
To find the software version installed on your device:
go to Settings > General, then tap About.
At any time, you can check for and install software updates:
Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
If the third-party apps still can not be deleted, you might want to try contacting their developers; they may have uninstallers for the apps:
How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
More support If needed:
App Store Support website (info. / support / contact)
There is a "Get Support" link (online chat / phone / email etc. or use the app) at the bottom of their website: App Store - Official Apple Support
So one time when I was trying to delete an app it said remove app from home screen so I press that and it just took me to my app library and so I went to app library and press it so I could delete it said put back on home screen so so when it did that it went back on home screen and now I’m able to delete any single apps that I have and there’s a lot that are sending bugs on my phone and I need to take them off and it won’t let me sometimes when I ask my parents for help and they try to do it on their phone. It won’t work either so I don’t have any way to delete these apps on my phone unless I restart it or buy a new one.

I’m also experiencing trouble and having the same problem on my IPad IOS 14, when I attempt to delete apps, it says ‘remove app’ but when I click it it just says remove from Home Screen, with the note of, “removing from Home Screen will take the app and store it in your App Library.” Oddly enough, I couldn’t find any sort of setting for turning off deletion.
When I go to delete apps it just says delete from Home Screen, this is a problem because I only have a little bit of storage left , I don’t know if this is because my phone is old , it’s the iPhone 5 , but there should be a solution
