===============================

Introduction

Apple Music offers a vast library of songs, but sometimes you might find it necessary to delete multiple songs at once due to various reasons. This guide will show you how to delete multiple songs on Apple Music efficiently, with tips and tricks to make the process smoother.

Deleting Songs via Apple Music App

Step 1: Open the Apple Music app on your device.

Step 2: Navigate to your “Library” section. Here you will find all the songs added from various sources including purchased ones, uploaded tracks, and others.

Step 3: Select the songs you want to delete by tapping on each one. You can use the multi-select feature by tapping on the circle icon next to each song title.

Step 4: Once you have selected all the songs you want to delete, tap on the “Delete” button at the top of your screen. A prompt will ask you to confirm your action.

Note: Deleted songs will not be available in your library unless you restore them from previous backups or re-download them from your previous purchases list.

Using Smart Playlists to Manage Your Library

Smart playlists automatically filter and sort your tracks based on criteria like genre, artist, or recently played songs. You can use smart playlists to delete multiple songs at once by excluding certain tracks from the playlist or adding certain conditions for removal. For instance, create a smart playlist that only includes songs you don’t want anymore and then delete them all in one go.

iTunes Sync for PC Users

If you are a PC user and prefer using iTunes, you can also delete multiple songs there. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Navigate to your device’s library, select the tracks you want to delete, and hit the “Delete” key on your keyboard or right-click on the tracks and choose “Delete.”
