You can set up restrictions in the Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Purchases -> Deleting Apps -> Don't allow.

How to permanently delete apps from my iPhone? I can’t delete any apps from my phone. Yes they are not built in. No I don’t have any screen time restrictions or content restrictions. I can only remove apps from the Home Screen (add them to App Library) but I can’t permanently delete anything even if I go into storage settings and try to delete an app that way. Can’t find any answers on other forums. This phone used to have content restrictions which I suspect is the issue but have since all been removed. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
