Feb 6, 2015 5:44 PMby geofferson31,I had the same problem. Coming from Android, I was able to freely make changes to my own phone, without Apple limiting me at every turn. Apple definitely does some things better than android, but iOS is certainly constraining. Anyway, going into the iStore (or whatever they call it), on the right side of the page, under 'quick links', click 'Purchases'. You can then click the 'x' in the upper-left corner of each album to hide that purchase. It wiped it from my phone instantly. I suspect you can unhide them to restore the purchase in itunes, without it syncing back to your phone, but I haven't tried. Might not be a perfect solution but it keeps me from scrolling past that Mackelmore album I bought two years ago every time I'm looking through my library.
