Press on the app until you see the remove app option. Tap remove app and if there is an option to delete it tap that. If there isn't an option to delete the app, it would be for two reasons:


  1. It could be a native app, built into iOS and isn't removable
  2. You could have the ability to delete apps turned off in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > App Store and iTunes Purchases > Make sure Deleting Apps is marked allow.
