There may be a restriction preventing deleting apps. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps and set that to "Allow."

I'm only saying that if there is a restriction that would be an explanation of why you are prevented from deleting apps. If you go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps and it is not set to "Allow" then there is a restriction. If it is already set to "Allow" then that is not the reason.
