How can I emulate the delete key from Windows on the new 2018 Macbook Pro 15" with Touchbar?

I have recently switched from Windows to a Mac and I am missing the delete key which would delete the character in front of the cursor. I have looked up and it seems as if you need the function keys in order to use them. Since the Touchbar obviously replaced the function keys, I would love to find out how to retain that functionality from Windows.


Thanks a ton!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Hold the key in the lower left, labeled [fn] while you press the delete key.
