I deleted apps months, some of them years ago. However, yesterday morning, when I opened my phone all of these apps are now back on my phone. Why are they back and how do I remove them permanently so this does not happen again?

Hello there Karmarsel,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Do you currently have another iOS device signed in to with the same Apple ID as your current Phone? If so, its possible that app downloads are enabled in Automatic Downloads. To check, go to Settings > App Store, and make sure that "App Downloads" is set to Off. More info on downloading apps can be found here:

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.
We hope this helps you.
