Unable to delete the Facebook app? It's likely because it's a core app on certain iPhone models, meaning it came pre-installed by the carrier. Instead, you can disable the app by holding down its icon and selecting 'Remove App' to free up screen space. If possible, check Settings > General > iPhone Storage. There, you can offload or delete data, thus reducing storage use. For full removal, contact your carrier or explore jailbreak options, though the latter may affect your device's warranty and security.
