this is a test post

When that option 

does

 appear

The “Your homepage displays” radio buttons only show if:

• you create at least one Page, and
• WordPress detects a possible static homepage

Since you deleted all pages (which was correct), WordPress has nothing to switch to.

---

Optional: make it explicit (not required)

If you want that setting to appear anyway:

1. Pages → Add New
2. Create a page called Home
3. Publish it
4. Go back to Settings → Reading

Now you’ll see:

• Your latest posts
• A static page

You can still choose Your latest posts, then delete the page again.

But again — this is optional.

Bottom line

• Your homepage is already set correctly
• Nothing is broken
• This is exactly how modern WordPress block themes work
