Cannot delete app only remove from home screen

I have an iPhone 11 running ios 14.3. I am trying to remove (so I can reload) the Bose Music app. When I press on the icon I get three options "remove the app (in red), Share App, and Edit Home Screen. When I select "Remove App" I get only two options. Remove from Home Screen" and Cancel. If I select "remove" the app icon gets removed from the home screen but remains on my phone. The icon remains in the app library. If I press hard on the app in the app library, I get two options - Share App and Add to Home Screen.


I really need to permanently delete this app and reload it as I am having problems connecting my Bose soundbar to my home network and I can only do it via the Bose app which is not working properly.


Anybody have a way to delete this app?


Thank you in advance.

iPhone 11

Thanks! It worked AFTER I powered off my phone and turned it back on but not before.
