Try to remove the profile that has the game's license, then turn off the console and remove the power cord; wait for 1 to 2 minutes before plugging it back in and turn on the console and sign in! Then select System > Settings > devices and streaming > blue ray > persistent storage > clear three times > restart console.

Refunds are typically issued for requests made within 14 days of the purchase date for games in which you haven't accumulated a significant amount of play time.
