I accidentally enabled app offloading when it suggested it to me in the storage settings. There is no off button in the App Store settings, although there was one in iOS 17.

Almost right.
it was actually:
SETTINGS>APPS>APP STORE->
Scroll to bottom of page to turn off.
I have same issue. There is no way to fix this Issue I could find. I clicked every button on all possible areas, no solution.
Says to follow this….settings - apps - appstore - scroll down to - offload unused app
Appstore is not listed. Here images to show top & bottom of app page.
Before updating (18.2.1) I had this turned OFF.

Oh my god. Thank you!!!
everyone was saying the old method that doesn’t work anymore, and I was so frustrated because my IPad Mini 6 kept deleting my essential apps, but your method worked!
i have registered just to say thank you!
Thank you!
isn’t there in my 18.3.1 on an iPad Pro.
anybody got a solution?
Thanks.

This for me is the correct info. 👍 ( iPad mini 5 and iPhone 13 pro )
THANKS!
Go to Settings
Scroll down and tap on Apps
Scroll and tap on Appstore
Then scroll down to the end and toggle off the Offload Unused Apps
Thank you,
This worked for me.
i would have never found it.
@laney120 - I registered specifically to say - THANK YOU! This was the answer I've been looking for as my settings -> app store was not visible.
Hi,
i recommend to update to ios 18.4
For anyone who’s unable to do this on iOS 17, it’s in Settings > App Installation.
I found a work around. You need to go to >Settings and pull down to get the search bar at the top. Type in unused and the App Store will appear, tap it to open, scroll all the way down and toggle the switch for Offload Unused Apps.
Go to settings - apps - App Installation - switch Offload unused app to off
Found it!
Apps-> App installation(on the top)-> scroll down and you will find the option to turn it off. Hope this helps!!
How can I turn off "Offload Unused Apps" on my iPhone 14 Pro Max?
