If you don't want to do the one thing that may fix the problem the best thing is simply to remove the ghost icon from the home screen so that it does not annoy you.

When 15.7 or 16 comes out, use a computer to update the phone so that you get a fresh copy of the iOS


Find out how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later,

or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or a Windows PC.
