In my opinion you are just asking for trouble by not having everything on your iPod backed-up on your computer. In the event of loss , theft or the ever possible " PBKAC"
It is just too easy to be out of your hard earned money and time spent collecting all your great content. So with that said , instead of deleting to save some space why not just move the entire library to an ex-hdd ? They are super cheap these days and the process is quite simple and outlined here;

I hope this helps

Another way would be to use Spotlight search. Make sure that your MacBook shows file extentions and find the app files, which I think are .ipa or you could always search the app name, they are normally saved in iTunes Library or MacBook Library, if you delete them off the Mac and the iPhone they're gone.

There is a law, think it is rights to good and purchases act (don't quote me on that lol) But say you download an app or song, even if you completely remove it, using your same account you have the right to download it again for free.
