Delete Apps from App Store Under Purchases

I download multiple apps to test out and there are some I do not want to download in future. Instead of HIDE, can I delete the app from the download history/purchases?

You cannot delete them from your purchase history, you can only hide them from your downloads list.

- "You can see your purchase history, but you can't remove apps from your purchase history."

- "If you don't want to see an app in your list of purchases in the App Store, hide it."

- "When you hide an app, it won't appear in your list of purchases in the App Store. If you use Family Sharing, the app also won't appear in family members' purchases and won't be available for family members to redownload. But the app will still appear in your purchase history."
