If there is no option to delete and only Remove from Home Screen is available, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.

See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Also be aware that deleting an app does not cancel any related subscriptions. To do that, see: If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support
