How do I delete apps from family sharing

I have previously approved apps for child’s phone. I would like to delete and remove them and not approve them to be downloaded again

You can't delete any purchase from an account's purchase history, and you can't revoke permission for the app - once permission is given the item can be freely redownloaded. All you can do is hide the app on their account (though that will only hide it from the Purchased redownloading section, it won't stop them redownloading it from the store) : Hide apps for your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support
