In the meantime I have manually 'unstarred' all 400+ songs one by one in my favourites listing and by doing this, the songs automatically dissappear from the library. That finally did the job.

Good luck with yours!

By the way, the service itself is groundbreaking, I never wish to by a cd again!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'favourites listing' but unstarring the tracks hasn't worked for me. I think anyway, we shouldn't have to resort to that in order to get rid of tracks we don't want anymore, we should just be able to delete them!

It is absolutely ridicules that it is so hard to delete a track. What is this greyed delete option business about ? I am paying for Spotify, and I cant even choose what's on my playlists...... Sorry to be negative but it's really amateuristic

Hey,

If you want to delete track, delete it form Starred or Playlists.

[MixMan]

The songs I want to delete are not starred or in any playlist. They are only in the cue

[hpguru Community Veteran]

Do you have playlists you subscribed to? Also in Library Spotify can show all song you purchased in Spotify, Local files etc.

[MixMan]

No, I have not subscribed to or bought this album. I actually really dislike it that's why I want it off my que.

That's odd! I have empty Library. I listen a lot albums, radio and search views.

Try re-installing the app.

The random extra songs or albums are most likely the sample music that came installed on your PC (and yes, they're usually crap). You can do one of 3 things to "delete" them from your Spotify Library. 

1. In Spotify, go to Edit and then Preferences. Uncheck Windows Music Library and Windows Media Player as sources from which to display music.

2. If you want to use Win. Music Libraray and Win. Media Player as source folders for Spotify, move the unwanted tracks/albums to a different folder on your PC - move them out of the folder for Windows Music and/or Windows Media Player.

3. Delete the unwanted tracks/albums from the Sample Music folder under My Music on your PC.

You shouldn't need to uninstalling and reinstall Spotify then. Hope that helps!

Hey, heatherirene. Thank you for your time! And welcome to the Community. Can not come to my mind this - because this is first thing I do, when starting computer first time: I delete all those sample songs, pictures and videos.
