I have songs ONLY in my iPhone (Only Synced vie iTunes installed in the PC ).
Usually I sync my iPhone with my iMac .

Hello Ronenhaim,
It sounds like you are wanting to delete the music in iTunes on your PC. You should be able to do so with this info:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
Mac or PC
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
- Launch iTunes.
- From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
- Click Songs in the navigation bar.
- Click the song you want to delete.
- Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
If you still see the music after deletion with a cloud icon next to it, you can disable that by unchecking Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases in the iTunes preferences:
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button
next to them.
From: iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
