Thanks for your help Winston, it helped to a point! I followed your instructions BUT it didn't work entirely. My unused Apps were saved in the "Purchased" section of my Apps Store App. To find the ones that had been hidden I had to tap the "Genius" tab... then open my Apple ID... then View Apple ID... then Sign In... then I scrolled down to "iTunes in the Cloud" & clicked on "Hidden Purchases." It was here I found "Hidden Purchases" for iPad Apps & could "Unhide" them.

That's more or less what I suggested you do, you can get to your Apple ID in numerous different screens, the App store is just one of them.
