The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties

Recently, I was trying to write an Azure Function code to interact with SharePoint to delete a SharePoint List using the Visual Studio 2019 IDE. I got this error.

Below is my Azure Function code

[FunctionName("NewFunction")]
        public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequestMessage request,
            ILogger log)
        {

            string site = "https://tsinfo.sharepoint.com/sites/SPFx/";
            string userName = "ASE@tsinfo.onmicrosoft.com";
            string password = "#####@12345";

            // parse query parameter  
            string listtitle = request.GetQueryNameValuePairs()
                .FirstOrDefault(q => string.Compare(q.Key, "title", true) == 0)
                .Value;


            System.Security.SecureString secureString = new System.Security.SecureString();
            foreach (char ch in password)
            {
                secureString.AppendChar(ch);
            }

            SharePointOnlineCredentials creds = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, secureString);

            using (var ctx = new ClientContext(site))
            {
                ctx.Credentials = creds;
                List lst = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listtitle);
                lst.DeleteObject();
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();
                return lst == null
                ? request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Error retreiveing the list")
                : request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "ListDeleted successfully " + listtitle);
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

When I started executing the code, I got the below error
