How do I delete the settings of a third party app after deleting the app?

I need to access the settings in a third party app but it is grayed out. I deleted the app and restarted my iPhone then reinstalled the app but the previous settings were applied to the app. How do I delete the settings so I am prompted to configure them in the app? This has nothing to do with the update to iOS 16.1.1 as I was having the issue before the update.

iPhone XR, iOS 16

My understanding, which may be incorrect, is that iOS app settings stored in the Keychain are not deleted when the app is deleted. Perhaps the app settings are in the Keychain. Try contacting the app developer.
