Can’t delete app off of iPhone

When I hold the app, press the ‘X’ and hit delete the app looks like it was deleted. But when I go back into the AppStore and go to Spotify it says open instead of the download icon

iPhone SE, iOS 11

As I said, the icon with the white field and black lines, indicates the app has not completely downloaded. Did you follow the directions in the link I provided?


Restart your device

If the app appears on your Home screen, but is dim or has white with lines on it, don't delete the app. Restart your device, then go to the App Store and redownload the app.
