HOW DO I PERMANENTLY DELETE AN APP ON MY CHILDS IPAD (FAMILY SHARING)

I’m a Family Share account organizer (parent) & need to free up space in our account. I’ve tried to delete apps on a Family Share member’s (my child) device because they don’t use the apps any longer. I’ve selected the app on their device it ask if I want to remove the app but doesn’t give an option to completely delete the app. The apps are wasting iCloud space and the device space.

Please help me delete their apps and all it’s contents?

I dont want to hide the apps, I want to permanently delete them.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Refer to this document: Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Some apps cannot be deleted.

Also have a look at:

How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

Use your device to check its storage

Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage. You might see a list of recommendations for optimizing your device's storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses.
Tap an app's name for more information about its storage. Cached data and temporary data might not be counted as usage.

In the detailed view you can:

Offload the app, which frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data.
Delete the app, which removes the app and its related data.
Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of its documents and data.
