iTunes Match - Delete Downloaded Songs from iPhone

I got iTunes Match and decided I wanted to download a portion of my music library to my iPhone in case I don't have a signal and I want to listen to music. I got a little carried away and ran out of room before I got through all of my artists...Rush was the last one to make the cut, thank God!! Anyways, there are still some artists I would like to download, but I don't have any space left. Is there any way I can delete some of the songs that I already downloaded? I want to be able to listen to them through iTunes Match, but not take up room on my phone. Thanks for your interest!!!

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Man this is so awful , i just got itunes match for the first time, and i'm so dissapointed:


The cache takes up lots of space in my 8GB Iphone 4, God I can't believe you have to go through all of this just to delete songs, it's just not smooth... It's so bugged , When i turn itunes match off and then on again , in my artist section of itunes it says there is no music, while in the song section is filled with songs...


Man After IO6 I'm seriosly thinking on switching to Android lots...

OK, so I have one more question. I deleted the songs I didn't want on my iPhone and went to turn back on iTunes Match and it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device." My choices are to "Enable" or to "Cancel." I cancelled for now, because I don't want it to wipe out the songs I have downloaded to the phone. Is it going to wipe everything out and am I gonna have to start from scratch if I hit "Enable"? Thanks for your help!!

I have tried that but nothing happened. I'm new to the entire match thing. The problem is I turned it off, I got the delete button to a song, I pressed it, I turned the cloud the back on, but the song that I just deleted it is still there. I asked a couple of questions on other sites and I got one piece of advice and I tried it but nothing happened and my phone is not entirely successful on me to the whole deleting process. I could really use some advice right now.
