Scammer installed malware

A scammer installed malware on my iphone (AnyDesk), and though I deleted the ap, I think there may be traces of it still on the phone. Do I need to worry? What should I do?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Did the scammer have physical possession of your phone? If they did not they did not install malware on it. If you are concerned restore the phone to factory settings ➡️ Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support. You can restore a backup made before the incident happened, but not a backup made after.
