Apps will stay linked to your Apple ID and can only be removed from the device but not from your purchase list.

Hiding purchases would be an option:

Hide purchases from the App Store - Apple Support


If you create a complete new Apple ID none of the purchases from your old Apple ID can be downloaded again or will show up in your personal settings.
