The App itself is not saved on iCloud. The App is saved locally on your iPhone. The data associated with the app may be saved on iCloud. When you delete the app (Not just remove from Home Screen but use the Delete option), then the iCloud data associated with that App is also deleted.


My recommendation is that you Delete the app on your iPhone by making sure that you are using the Delete option and then rebooting your iPhone. After the iPhone is rebooted, you can go to the App Store and download the app again.
