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:

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
Thank you, this worked for me!

That’s happening to me too ! HOW DO I FIX ITTTTTTTTTTTTT
I did but still has problem to deleting
Mine Option in media and app purchases is set to allow but when I delete the app it only remove it from Home Screen please someone help me fix it…?
I’m having this problem as well. My apps will not delete and the only option given when I try to remove is taking it off my Home Screen. I think the reason is because I don’t have the latest update. This is frustrating because I don’t want the new update I actually prefer the old OS. I’m tired of the constant updates and changes in the systems and the possible, if not eventual, bugs that come with.
I’m having the same issue and nothing has helped so far!
Ok so umm I can’t delete apps or games when I try I it goes to the library but it says remove app then it removes from the Home Screen to the library I’m confused
Why can't I delete apps on my iPhone?
