The other option is to go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and see if you can find the app. When you tap on it, you should see how much data is being stored and a button to Delete the app. Below that button it says the app and all of its data will be deleted and it cannot be undone. I honestly don't know any difference from deleting the app here compared to the normal way to delete an app.
If you want to provide the name of the app, I can try and do some more testing on my device. I assume the app does not have a sign in page that would store the data on their servers.

Then your data is likely stored in iCloud. Check in iCloud by going to Settings > [name on top] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage. If you see the app name, then tap on it and choose "Delete Data from iCloud".

Is this after you sign into your account on the app?

Did u find an answer cuz on Apple once I delete the app. If I try install again I don’t get a fresh app. But the app that I previously used. I don’t understand how to fix this issue. Especially on games.

You can delete the app that the data corresponds to and that will delete that app’s data as well. You may also shutdown and reboot to complete the process.

Delete the app and the data will also be deleted. You can redownload the app from the App Store. Some apps may have an option to erase the data in Settings for the app, but it is strictly up to the developer if they want to do that.

you can try to delete it from the Keychain manager if you did find the saved account there. deleting the app data won't help with deleting the accounts saved in your device.
