Q: My kid brother downloaded some immature apps and now I see them every time I look at my updates because the apple shows you every app you downloaded so in case you may need to download it or want it again is there no way I can deletetheapps I use2hav

how do you delete apps you use to have so they won't ever show up in your apps or previously own apps ?

    You can't delete an app from your purchase list. However, you can hide it. Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

    The directions for hiding them are in my above post.

    In iTunes

    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Click Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    3. Click your name and select Purchased from the menu. If you use Family Sharing, click Family Purchases.
    4. At the top-middle of the screen, click All. All of your purchased items appear.
    5. Scroll to find the item that you want to hide. Hold the cursor over the item and an X appears in the upper-left corner. Click the X, and the item hides.

    The "x" that the article describes was not visible on my end, but if you move the cursor to where it should be and click when the cursor is a "hand" you can hide purchases.

    Put a passcode on your phone. It will keep both your girlfriend and your kid brother for snooping in your phone.
