Any one knows how to uninstall an app on Windows 10 mobile?
I did a long press, delete......yes. After that, the app still there.

You have to do this from the All Apps menu. Not the start menu. That just deletes the tile. Swipe left from the start screen to access the All Apps menu.
 
I had that problem on previous builds but not the latest. Unless anyone else has any idea's, you may need to do a reset. Are your apps installed locally or on an SD card? That was the problem but again, in previous builds.
 
I had that happen to me once. I went to settings - storage - apps+games either on device or sd-card. Look to for the app you want to uninstall and it should uninstall correctly and the icon should disappear.
 
Moved to appropriate area...

Windows 10 Mobile How-To Guides is for write ups of prepackaged solutions... Not for leading questions on issues not yet resolved.
 
You could also go to Settings -> Device -> Storage -> [phone or SDcard] -> Apps and Games -> find the app, and uninstall it from there.
 
This happened to me with one of the default apps, I don't use an SD card. I had to hard reset, then after it would let me delete it correctly. Something just got borked.
