Delete old offline playlists

indiewokker — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:22:06 GMT

When I delete a playlist that was marked to sync offline, Spotify doesn't seem to delete the music files in my phone's memory.

I noticed this by deleting a playlist containing 500+ songs. It didn't free up any memory.

Is there a way to delete these files without deleting the playlists I still want to keep synced offline?

I have a Google Nexus S with Android 4.1.2 and everything is up to date.

Nevermind, I dug a little deeper into the forums and I found the answer:

Spotify will delete the files after a few days.

You got it 🙂 If you're desperate to free up some space, you can also delete the cache from spotify's settings.

Well this is not a perfect solution though... Why does one have to wait "some days", This sounds hillarious!
