  • You can delete an app from your Home Screen by tap/hold on the app icon, when the menu pops up, select Remove App, then in the subsequent menu select Delete App
  • You can delete an app from the App Library by locating the app and tap/hold, select Delete App.

Incorrect. That IS how you delete apps from your iPhone.

If one of those 3 methods above doesn't delete the app from your iPhone, then you are not following the instructions properly.

Unless you have some other details to add. Error message of some sort?

When you say the app is still on your iPhone, where are you finding it?

If you are expecting the App Store not to show the download option, that is completely different.
