Some system apps cannot be deleted,


but if it happens to any app check this article:

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


One of the options you have there is to disable deletion off apps, see if that's what is disabled.


Prevent iTunes & App Store purchases

You can also prevent your child from being able to install or delete apps, make in-app purchases, and more. To prevent iTunes & App Store purchases or downloads:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. 
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
  3. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases.
  4. Choose a setting and set to Don't Allow.



In your case allow deletion off apps it if is set to Don't Allow.



Good luck!
