There are four hidden apps that could be slowing down my phone. How do I get rid of them?

Android Central Question

So I'm running parallel space(an alternate space to make new accounts on my apps) and I see these apps that I normally don't see in my home screen. "Money RAWR" "Coin Pop" "App Flame" and "AppStation". Could they be bitmining my phone or harming it? And if so, how do I get rid of them? I've already tried using an app uninstaller from the app store, but sadly, it doesn't even show up on there.

I don't think they're actual apps, they might be ads on Parallel Space (they might call them 'suggested' apps). But if you want to know if they're installed on your phone, just open the Application Manager. All apps, hidden from launchers or not, should show up there. If they're not there they're not installed on your phone (and since you mention they don't show up on the Play Store and I don't think you side-loaded them manually, that's also a giveaway for not being installed).
