Hello Samer,
It sounds like you may have Automatic Downloads enabled on your computer. If you have Automatic Downloads turned on in iTunes for apps, music, or books and you purchase this type of content on your iPhone, it will download to iTunes automatically.
You can disable Automatic Downloads in the iTunes Preferences by deselecting the boxes for Music, Apps, or Books:
- Open iTunes.
- For Mac computers: Choose iTunes > Preferences and click the Store tab.
For Windows computers: Choose Edit > Preferences and click the Store tab.- You can enable Automatic Downloads2 for Music, Apps, or Books under "Automatic Downloads."
Note: If the checkboxes are not selectable, you will need to sign in to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID.
You can find more information about Automatic Downloads here:

If you purchased an app but want to hide it in your list of purchases, I recommend following the steps in this article so they are no longer visible:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
