Hello. I am facing a critical issue on my iPhone: I cannot delete any applications at all (I tested with ChatGPT, but the problem affects every app).
Details of the issue:
When I long-press an app icon, the only option available is "Remove from Home Screen" (which just hides it), but there is no "Delete App" option. In the iPhone Storage settings (Settings → General → iPhone Storage), the "Delete App" and "Offload App" buttons are also completely missing. When I try to delete an app using my computer (via iMazing), I get the system error: kAMDUninstallProhibitedError.
What I have already checked and ruled out (please take this into account for diagnostics):
- Screen Time & Parental Controls: I have completely turned off Screen Time and entirely removed any parental control settings. I also checked "Content & Privacy Restrictions" → "iTunes & App Store Purchases" → "Deleting Apps" (it was set to "Allow" before I disabled everything). None of this helped.
- Profiles & MDM: There are no configuration profiles in the "VPN & Device Management" section (neither corporate nor personal).
- Family Sharing: There are no restrictions applied by the family organizer.
Could you please advise how to resolve this system-level block on deleting apps?
