When I select either the album or song in the library the delete is greyed out, am I missing something?

The Spotify Library is comprised of either local files, or starred tracks.  Deleting them through the Spotify interface is not possible.  If the song you wish to remove from your library is a starred track, simply unstar it.  If it is a local track, you will need to manually delete the track, or deselect the location the track is in on the Spotify Preferences screen.  To get there, click the Edit menu, and select Preferences.  Scroll to the Local Files area, and uncheck whichever option that points to the location where the files are you wish to remove.

The songs that I have in my library are neither starred nor local, I suppose I will star all the songs I want and just view music through the starred tab?

I missed songs that are also in playlists.  Are the songs that are in your library also in any of your playlists?  If so, removing them from the playlist should also remove them from the library.

I have songs in my library that were starred but I have unstarred them, but they are still there.  They are not in any of my playlists.  When I press the delete or backspace button nothing happens.  when i right click the 'delete' option is faded.  please help. thanks

Hi, I have the same problem. Everything in my preferences is unticked, I have deleted all playlists. Still a lot of songs in my library and favourites that cannot be deleted.

Would you be so kind to help me (us) out?

Thanks in advance,

Annette

I deleted a song from a playlist about a month ago, have restarted and updated Spotify multiple times since then, but the song still shows up in my ilbrary. It's not in the playlist and I don't have it in another playlist.

Have you tried to reinstall and then again install Spotify?

Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it.
