Delete apps from iphone 8plus

I want to delete some apps on my 8plus. When I delete, it only removes the app from my home screen but it stays in the library. I've gone to settings, but I can't figure out how to permanently delete them. Can someone help?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

On an iPhone with iOS 14, if the app is on a Home screen, touch and hold the app, tap Remove app and then tap Delete App (or tap Edit Home Screen in the pop up menu, tap the minus sign, then tap Delete App)

If the app is only in the App Library screen (swipe left past the last Home screen), touch and hold the app there and then tap Delete app.

Note that some built-in Apple apps cannot be deleted.

If neither of those options is available, there may be a restriction set on deleting apps. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps.
