How can I completely block certain apps on my Apple device?

I have screentime set up with passcode. I have all the apps limited. I cannot see where you can actually stop an app being accessed. I'd like to completely block some. It says toggle on and off in Allowed Apps & Features, yet all the apps I'd like to stop are not listed. Can anyone advise please.

How to block specific apps? Specifically ones that were previously downloaded "With Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time, you can block or limit specific apps and features on your child's device." This statement from Apple's own support page is a lie. You absolutely CANNOT block specific apps on your child's device. There is NO option for a "Don't Allow" list. There's NO way to limit specific app time to anything less than 1 minute per day. The only way to entirely block an app is to restrict the age rating, but then EVERY app with that age rating will be blocked. This is absolutely maddening. Does anybody who is actually a parent of real-life children have anything to do with developing Apple parental controls? Am I missing something? Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I have been able to discover, Apple's level of parental control on apps is unforgivably inadequate.

How do I block apps from (say) 11pm to 10am I cannot figure out how to block/turn off access to specific apps at a specific time, for a set period of time. For example: I want to turn off access to an app from 10pm to 10am the next day.

I can’t delete apps from 12mini. Already allowed it in screentime. On my 12mini, I can’t delete apps. My only option is to “remove app” which inky removes it from the Home Screen. I already did the fix in the screen time settings to allow deleting apps. I can’t delete them through the App Store, or through the iPhone storage section. any ideas?
