How can I remove a lingering Whatsapp icon from my site?

[Canabaxa]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to remove a Whatsapp icon that got "stuck" on the bottom right corner.  I had installed the Whatsapp Chat - Live Chat app (https://apps.shopify.com/beeapp-whatsapp-chat?surface_detail=whatsapp&surface_inter_position=1&surfa...) and replaced it with a different Whatsapp app.  I have deleted the previous app but it remains there underneath my new one.  Thank you

Hi, @Canabaxa!

This is May from Shopify.

Generally, when you uninstall an app, its code should also be automatically removed from your storefront theme. Have you tried clearing your browser cache or try a different browser and see if the icon is still there? If it is, it could be that the app leaves a code snippet in the theme when you deleted the app, which needs to be removed manually. It is quite difficult to find out where the code is located and how to remove it without looking directly into your store. 

If you are still seeing this issue after clearing your cache and/or using a different browser, could you send over a link to your store, please? That way, I can take a closer look into your store and help locate the code. If you don't feel comfortable sharing your store URL here, no worries, just let me know and I can send you an email so we can chat in private!

Cheers!
