iPad Air unable to delete apps to update software

My Ipad Air won’t let me delete apps. The setting in screen time that stops you from deleting apps used to be on, but it is not on anymore and I still can’t delete anything. My Ipad is on a pretty old update, 18.something i think, but unfortunately, I can’t delete apps so I can’t make enough space to download the newer updates.

iPad Air, iPadOS 18
