Hi,
Method 1: Delete from Home Screen
1. Find the app you want to delete on your Home Screen.
2. Press and hold the app icon until a menu appears.
3. Tap Remove App > Delete App > Delete to confirm.
Method 2: Delete from Settings
1. Open Settings.
2. Go to General > iPad Storage.
3. Scroll down and find the app you want to delete.
4. Tap the app and select Delete App to remove it.
Method 3: Enable Offloading (Automatic Removal)
If you want to free up space but keep the app’s data:
1. Go to Settings > App Store.
2. Toggle on Offload Unused Apps—this will automatically remove apps you don’t use often while keeping their documents and data.
hopefully this helps

You can press and hold the app, and press “Remove app”, or you can go to settings, General, and press (iPhone or iPad) storage. Click the app and press “Delete app”.
