Successfully deleting an App:

Get these Apps' Icons Back:

Use Drag & Drop on the Home Screen:

I may be still on your iPhone's App Library, but not in the Home Screen. So, tap on the Home Screen. Then, hold your finger on the far-right edge of the screen. Next, swipe your finger in from the right, Home Screen by Home Screen. Next Drag & Drop the apps back over. Then, see fi you can delete it.

then...

Once deleted, restart our iPhone.

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Shut Down (bottom item)
4. Swipe: to your finger to shut down the iPhone
5. Power On: your iPhone, and see if all is removed.
