Helped I think though I will need a bit of time since I turned most of it off. The method I tried to use was:
"Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud."
and I thought that had worked since my phone showed all those 7 GB gone. I have gone to each album, swiped to get the red delete button and it was gone. Then a couple hours later I find that they are mostly back and some are still trying to re-download. That is crazy. There should be some way to have know I deleted these and I did not want them back. I have not turned it back on since I am not sure it won't start downloading again. I did use this to turn off auto downloads
Automatically download music purchased on another device. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, sign in using your Apple ID, then turn on Music under Automatic Downloads.
When I did not use Match I could just place a check mark or clear it and I could shift music on to and off of the phone very smoothly.
I do appreciate you pointing me to the page which has these steps spelled out. Thanks
