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.

Hi rorrie192,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: "My phone won’t let me delete apps even when content and restrictions say that deleting apps are allowed".
Wondering which iPhone model you are using, and which iOS version is installed, in order to try and help.
Also:
Wondering whether you are trying to delete Apple's built-in apps, or non-Apple (third-party) apps.

I can't delete the apps the reason why I want to delete apps is because
I am running out of space to add more apps and some apps I want to delete then add back real quick. But it doesn't let me delete anything!
I’m having the same issue as a few others on here I can’t delete any of my apps I downloaded from the App Store, it only allows me to remove from the Home Screen but not my App Store or my iPhone itself.confusing to why this is the case.. help anyone know what else I can do the content and restrictions also says I am allowed to delete apps…
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
Permission to delete apps is set to allow but I still can’t delete the apps, and this iPad is provided by my school so I need to delete some personal apps bcz I have to return it back and am stuck. Can you please explain more about the solutions you mentioned or where I might find them?
Don’t know why but my phone will not let me delete the apps and it’s very annoying. Please if anybody has any information about how to fix this problem with an iPhone 14 contact me please
