Some built-in Apple apps cannot be delete, they can only be removed from the home screen.

If you cannot delete any apps, the usual reason is a restriction on deleting. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases. See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
