Deleted apps still taking storage on iOS 15.4

Hello umbu_ Have you checked your Offload Unused Apps settings? Go to Settings > iPhone Storage > Offload Unused Apps. Is in Enabled? If Yes your apps aren't really deleted. Just Un Enable this feature and the apps should repopulate.

Hi there umbu_,

This is certainly unexpected, so let's rule out some basics:

1. If you have a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 15.4. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
2. Have you already tried a restart since this first began to occur? If not, this link shows how to Restart your iPhone.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!

How long has it been since deleting these applications? If you try deleting another app, does it appear the same way in your iPhone Storage settings? Also, if you try searching for these deleted applications, do they appear anywhere on your iPhone?

To search for apps:

"Swipe to search

1. Swipe down from the middle of the Home screen.
2. Tap the Search field, then enter what you're looking for. As you type, Search updates results in real time.
3. To see more results, tap Show More or search directly in an app by tapping Search in App.
4. Tap a search result to open it."

Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

All the best.
