Signing in to app updates and someone else’s appleID shows up

When I try to update some apps, the last owner of this phone (my dad) appleID shows up. How do I erase that so I can update them myself with my appleID?

iPhone SE, iOS 17

How do I remove previous owner's Apple ID from the App Store? I bought this phone from someone that said they reset it. Now even though I’m signed into my Apple ID I’m still unable to update any apps because their old Apple ID pops up. I have called customer support twice to fix it and it still doesn’t fix the problem. Help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Delete and redownload those applications. His Apple ID is stored inside them.
