Why can't I uninstall an app? My icons wiggle when button is held down but no X appears.

I hold down the application button until they wiggle but an X never appears to allow me to select the apps that I want to delete. How do I fix this?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

do you have restrictions turned on? (Setting/General/Restrictions) - there is an option in Restrictions to turn off the ability to delete apps - the beahvior you are describing is exactly what would happen if that restriction is turned on
