Hey alyssa_ba,


We see you are having an issue with deleting an app you've installed. Let's see what we can do to help get it back to working order. 


To start, make sure you’re running the latest iOS version: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Then, tap Settings > General > iPhone Storage. From there, scroll to see if the app is listed. If it is, tap on the app and then select “Delete App.”


Let us know if this helps.


Cheers.
