Deleting the app uninstalls the app entirely.


Press and hold on an App until the menu shows up. Tap on Remove App, then on Delete App.


If you don't see the Delete App option, and only have the "Remove from Home Screen" option make sure its an App that can be deleted, and go to Settings->Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions->iTunes & App Store Purchases->Deleting Apps and make sure its set to "Allow".
