Why can't I delete apps on my iPhone?

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.

I’m trying to delete a third party app, and it’s the same for all of them, on my iPhone 13, IOS 16 I believe? And whenever I press and hold the app and press remove app, it only allows me to remove the app from Home Screen, and not delete the actual apps. When I go onto settings, I checked if deleted apps is allowed, and it is. I restarted my phone, and tried about everything I can think of, and I still can’t delete the app.
