Deleting Apps from iPhone (iOS 14.4.2)

I cannot completely delete an app from my iPhone. The app is simply moved to the Library. I cannot delete from the Library either.

The procedure(s) noted here do not work as indicated:

https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/remove-apps-iph248b543ca/14.0/ios/14.0#iphb4b216389

When attempting to remove from the Library (tap and hold), it simply wants to place it back on the Home Screen.

If I go in to the App Store and find the app, and swipe left, there is no delete option, just Hide.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

If no delete option is available, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
