App still showing up and unable to delete it

So today I downloaded a game and played for some time but after finding it boring I deleted it but after deleting it the icon like up there was still showing up on Home Screen so after that I tap and hold on that the apps started shaking and I again click on delete option and it disappeared from Home Screen but when I saw it in App Store it was showing open button and when I clicked it nothing was happening and in setting as above screenshot it is visible but when I tried to delete it through setting >general>Storage> It was not showing up



i tried all but nothing worked



Is there any way to fix this without resetting the phone???

First disable the Screen Time Restrictions, if any.


Settings > Screen Time > Contenet And Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps > [Allow]




There are six possibilities

  1. Delete an offloaded App
  2. Delete an App from the Home Screen
  3. Remove an App from the Home Screen - Will be placed in the App Library
  4. Delete an App from the App Library
  5. Delete an inbuilt App - Not feasible
  6. Delete an inbuilt App with one feature - You do not get any options either (e.g. Magnifier)
