Hello pele146,


You can find steps to delete apps from your iPhone here: Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


If you're unable to remove any app check your device for restrictions as this may explain the behavior you're encountering: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


"Prevent iTunes & App Store purchases 


  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."


Take care!
