Is it an app that can be deleted? Some built-in apps cannot be deleted→Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


As you have set Screen Time to Allow deleting apps, about the only other possibility is an override from Parental Controls, or Mobile Device Management from a business or school account that is installed on the phone.
