Deleted apps not disappearing

I have deleted apps and they’re still appearing as white logos and still say ‘open’ in the App Store. I have tried to delete from the storage section but no luck. IOS 12.4.

iPhone X

Are sure you're deleting the App and not just Offloading it?

The ghost look, to me, is that you have offloaded not deleted it.

See https://www.macworld.com/article/3236747/what-are-offloaded-apps-in-ios-11-and-how-do-they-work.html



Also you can try force restarting your phone, that sometimes helps.
