Over the past few years, I have downloaded various apps onto my iPhone from the App Store. I have noticed that the App Store remembers the apps that I have downloaded. So, for instance: If I download an app and then delete it from my phone and go back into the App Store, the download icon is different (it doesn't say "+Get" like apps that I have never downloaded before, instead it will have an icon of a cloud with an arrow pointing downwards).
How to I get the App Store/iCloud to forget these programs?

This will not be possible. You will see an cloud icon when you previously "purchased" an app. This will notify you that you could download the app without any costs.
It is not possible to delete those apps from your Apple ID.
If you don't want to see the cloud icon, you could sign out from the appstore via settings > iTunes & App Store > sign out. This will hide the cloud icon but you have to log in each time you want to download an app.
