Deleting Apps from App Library on iPhone 7

I need to delete an app in order to re-add it fresh. I'm not able to delete it from my App Library. The options presented do not include Delete. Is there a setting that needs to be changed in order to enable this?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Indeed there is: If you are using Screen Time, go to Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions/iTunes & App Store Purchases - Change Deleting Apps to Allow.


Then go back and try deleting the app again.
