Q: Deleted app returns after iPhone restart
Running an iPhone 6s with iOS 10.0.2 but this problem has existed for a few years through 3 iPhones (4,5, and 6) and numerous iOS versions.
I removed an app from my phone the normal way (wiggle>X).
Every time I restart my iPhone, for any reason, the app returns.
I could not locate the app in iTunes and I could not find a related ipa to delete.
It seems to return with any restore.
The app is an old version of FilmOn.
Any suggestions on how to finally and permanently get rid of it?

You could always try restoring the iPhone if it becomes too bothersome.
You would back up your iPhone to a computer with iTunes (not just iCloud as it doesn't back up text messages and other items), then restore the iPhone to factory settings, and finally restoring your backup.
