I can’t delete unwanted apps on IPad. I transferred apps to new iPad Air 11-inch (M3). Delete does not even show up when I remove from home screen. Just puts the into library. Please help!

Original Title: Delete unwanted apps on new IPad
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.

Assuming that your iPad is not centrally managed by an Educational Establishment or Business (as the device may be remotely managed) - if you are experiencing difficulties with adding, updating or removing Apps from your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:
Here are the apps that can be deleted, and those that cannot:

If some added app, and if you should have screen time, focus, or parental controls enabled, disable that, and try again.
