No I don’t use it I thought it was strange to have it even after the refund and i opened it and it works

No Problem. It is up to you to delete it. As stated, Apple does not go into your device to remove those items. In Apple's mind, that would be a huge invasion of your privacy and we all benefit from their strong stance on Security and Privacy. Have a great day!

Apple does not have the ability to log into your phone and remove the app that you have requested a refund for. They use the honor system where it is expected if you had trouble with the app or had a valid reason for requesting a refund that it would not be used by you. The real question would be, why did you request a refund for an app that you would continue to use?
