The App Store app cannot be deleted, so it's still somewhere on your device. Look carefully, especially inside folders. Also check if it has been hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions.


Many of the built-in Apple apps cannot be removed. Create a folder on your last screen, move the apps into the folder and ignore them. You can also hide them by putting restrictions on them, as per above.
