Not all Apps can be deleted - but for those that can, if the option to delete them appears to be missing, check that you have not disabled the ability to delete Apps in your iPad settings:
Settings > ScreenTime > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - set to Allow
Should you encounter unexpected behaviours in the future, such as an App failing to delete when following the correct process, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an unexpected issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
