The Purchased list is just that, a list of all your purchases, the App is not on your device anymore. Should you ever want to redownload you can do so from there and in the case of Apps you paid for you can do so for free.
You cannot delete Apps from that list as that would defeat its purpose of allowing you to download purchased apps without having to re-pay for them. Its apple's way of remembering what apps you already payed for and can download again, without charging you for them again.
You can however hide them if you wish:

After u remove one, u get the cloud and down arrow in App Store. How do u make it forget u downloaded it?
The app don't show any x when it wiggles.
If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
It really was easy. So easy that I couldn't figure it out until I came here lol
Thank you for your help! I have not been able to figure out why my apps don't have x's when they wiggle! Thought my iPad was broken! Problem fixed! Thanks much!!
Thank you! I've been looking for days and your the only one that solved the problem.
I know how to do it but they do not go away why they only turn dark but they do not go away
Thank you for all the information and assistance.
