Assuming this is a pressure balancing Delta such as a 13 or 14 series, under the handle, once taken off, you will see a brass faucet stem that has a round disc underneath it. To adjust the temperature of the water coming out of the valve, pull the disc back to a position where it is possible to remove the Rotational Limit Stop which is a small lever located behind the disc and readjust the teeth engagement position to the desired temperature. Clockwise will decrease the outlet temperature, counterclockwise will increase the outlet temperature. Temperature change per tooth (notch) could be 4° - 16°F based on inlet water conditions. Repeat as necessary. Push disc until fully seated. Failure to re-install Disc after setting Rotational Limit Stop could result in scald injury. After reassembling the faucet, make sure the cold water flows from the valve first. Make sure water flowing from the valve does not exceed 120°F or the maximum allowed by your local Plumbing code.

Why doesn't my hot warter work in my bathtub but works everywhere else?
If you have a single lever faucet, one that has hot and cold both on it, it may have a scald guard adjustment on it. To check, you will have to pry the center cap off with a flat head screw driver, and then remove the screw that holds the handle. If it is adjustable, you will see the dial that will let you adjust hotter or colder water. Adjust it and put everything back together...there you go!
