How to permanently delete apps on iPad?

Hi, I downloaded Messenger & More thinking I could get WhatsApp on my IPad but got that wrong as I later discovered it’s not available on IPad. As soon as I downloaded it it started asking for $$ for subscription and realised id got the wrong app.

When I went to delete, (press till it wiggles) it only allows me to delete from Home Screen. I’ve never seen an app I couldn’t delete so went in to General and made sure “allow delete” on apps is on which it is and went in to storage to delete as well but that doesn’t give an option to delete. Not sure why this is and I’m worried it may have access to my Apple Pay.

Can anyone help with this please. how do I permanently delete this app?

Thank you : )
