How to get rid of Adware icon on android screen?

[Android Central Question]

Hi,

I had installed a few photo editing apps last night which somehow caused an adware Icon to appear alongside other apps on the screen. I uninstalled the photo editing apps to get rid of the adware but it has not. I tried cleaning phone memory, cache and restarting my phone and the ad Icon was gone for a little while now it is back again. I tried WA Security, AppBrain Ad Detector but nothing seems to detect and delete it. I am worried can anyone help please?

My phone is Infinix X557, Android version 7, XOS Chameleon v2.2.

Thank you.
NJ
