    Hiding apps in your purchase history has nothing to do with "taking up space."

    Alyssa,

     

    If you want to hide an app or song so that it will not be visible in your Purchase History, follow these steps:

    Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC

     

    As Rysz notes, that is different from uninstalling it from the device to save space.  If you actually want to uninstall (delete) it do the following:

    "To remove apps from an iPhone, press down on an icon like you are opening it, but hold down your finger. The icons should start jiggling, and a 'X' should appear in the corner of all the apps you have installed. You can now remove your finger. Press on the 'X' of any app you want to delete, and then accept the confirmation message to delete it."
