Hi, Maruzzella8.


It isn't possible to delete applications from your Apple ID account. The closest option would be to hide your purchases, as shown here:


"Hide apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the App Store app.
  2. Tap the account button , or your photo or initials, at the top of the screen.
  3. Tap Purchased. If you use Family Sharing, tap My Purchases.
  4. iPhone showing the Purchased option in the Account menu.
  5. Find the app that you want, then swipe left on it and tap Hide.
  6. iPhone showing what happens when you swipe left on an app in your purchases and the Hide button appears.
  7. Tap Done.

"
