What's the best way to give a user edit and delete permissions to one Document Library folder?
- It is not possible to grant "Manage" permission for just one folder without breaking inherited permissions.
- User should be able to delete the items/files with Contribute permissions, check below documentation link.
- You can also use advanced permissions settings page for particular folder if "modern" manage access/share functionality is confusing.
- Select folder, click on ellipses (...) and select "Manage access".
- Scroll to the bottom of manage access popup and select "Advanced" link at the bottom right corner:

Good to know about the Advanced option on the bottom! That was a pain to find it through library settings.
Still, this doesn't resolve the issue regarding the error "Content approval is enabled for this library" when it appears that I have this disabled.
Anthony-123 Not sure about why you are getting error related to content approval. But, to rename files in SharePoint user will require delete permissions as well.
Check this for more information: Permission Level which doesn't allow renaming file in document library

Anthony-123 Try turning OFF content approval using PnP PowerShell:
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName -Interactive Set-PnPList -Identity "Demo List" -EnableModeration $falseElse raise support ticket with Microsoft directly, follow: M365 support - online support
