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.
