Grindr XTRA is billed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, never by Grindr directly, so cancellation happens in whichever store account bought it. Deleting the profile or the app does not stop billing. XTRA features continue until the current billing period ends. Grindr documents that purchases are final and non-refundable.
Menus and labels can change. If the steps below don’t match what you see, use the official help link on this page.

Confirm the subscription itself is cancelled in the App Store or Google Play first — a refund request does not cancel a renewal.
For an iOS purchase, take the request to Apple: Grindr states Apple requires all refunds to be processed through them, via the App Store receipt or reportaproblem.apple.com.
For a Google Play purchase, submit a request through the Grindr Help Center, which says it is occasionally able to assist with refund requests.
Note that Grindr's stated policy is that all purchases, including subscriptions and microtransactions, are final and non-refundable.

Check whether the amount is a pre-authorization rather than a real charge — Grindr says these confirm the payment method is valid and are never actually paid.
Allow time for it to clear: Grindr says a pre-authorization may be visible on an account statement for up to 15 business days.
If it is still showing after that, Grindr directs you to your bank, or to Apple or Google depending on where the purchase was made.
If you were charged after a free trial, note Grindr's rule that the renewal must be cancelled before the trial ends or the charge goes through.
