Hi Sesrohass22,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community. In order to remove apps completely from your iPhone, follow these steps from the article Remove apps from iPhone:


  1. Touch and hold the app in App Library
  2. Tap Delete App
  3. Tap Delete. (See Find your apps in App Library.)


Keep in mind, the 'Apps' section of storage includes the following: "Installed apps and their content, and content stored in "On My iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" directory in the Files app, and Safari downloads"

- How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad


Hope that helps!
