Lastly, you can request a refund by completing the steps listed here: Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support that are also listed below.
"How to request a refund

- Tap or click "I'd like to," then choose "Request a refund."

3. Choose the reason why you want a refund, then choose Next.
4. Choose the app, subscription, or other item, then choose Submit. If you were charged for a subscription that you no longer want, you can also cancel the subscription."
Best regards.
