My Question or Issue

For some reasons I have 100s of liked full albums in my library. Is there an easy way to mass unlike them all? I never like a full album and I don't know how this happened.

I have used Last.fm in the past and have revoked its access in case thats where the problem is.

It is pretty critical since my Discover Weekly and Release Radar are **bleep** compared to my taste. I have had this problem for a while but only now discovered the cause.

Hey @thomasjespersen, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

There are indeed two ways to remove an album, added by accident to your Liked Songs.

On a mobile device, you can go to the album and then click the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the app. The context menu will appear with the option to like or unlike all songs.

On a desktop you can either Heart/Unheart all songs from the album view or remove multiple entries from the Liked Songs playlist by selecting them with Ctrl/Shift + click, right-clicking, and selecting Remove from your Liked Songs.

If you'd like to see the multiple select functionality extended onto the mobile app, you can consider adding your +VOTE to this idea.

Hope this helps!

If I shift click an album nothing happens. Everything in the left panel is not shift or ctrl clickable.

Hey @thomasjespersen,

Thanks for the reply! To confirm, are you wanting to remove songs from an album or remove entire albums in Your Library?

Keep me posted.

OK, I have 4,000+ songs liked in Spotify, and when I follow instructions for Windows 11 (Ctrl+A, right click to clear all likes) it responds "Something went wrong".

Any ideas

Hey @mijas1999, thanks for your post.

You may have to start by sections at a time, because that may be due to different computer and software limitations. If you try to select a few songs and that error message still appears, please let me know the make and model of your device, and a screenshot of the message, if possible, so I can take a closer look.

Thanks!

Deleting albums from my library is only possible with my phone. the desktop app doesn't let me. And only one by one. For 10 hours I managed to delete only 10% yet. Is it so hard to implement this feature?

Hey @rommelhoek,

Thanks for your post. This Idea has been suggested here, and I’d recommend adding a vote and comments to show your support.

Can you let me know what happens when you follow the steps provided in my first reply? You can send me a screen recording of what you’re seeing and I will take a look.

Keep me posted!

Hi Billy. Thanks for the reply.

What happens is quite simple, on my phone I can like / unlike albums and like / unlike singles one by one as you described. by clicking the plus(+) or green (v) dot. No problems. If I do this on my desktop app however, the plus / green dot jumps back in the original state when I leave and re-enter the page. For some years now, despite clearing cache, switching computer or updates / reinstall..

Anyway my problem is that for +8 years ive been "liking" albums just to mark them as allready being checked.

Now, I just want a fresh new album library with only the albums I like instead of all albums and singles I checked. I've been deleting singles and albums since two months now whenever I have some spare hour or some minutes at the toilet.... and there are now still tens of thousands singles / albums to be deleted. That's very frustrating and time-consuming while a one-click solution would be easily to implement?

I have over 100 playlists and afraid to try some open source "mass delete" tool... Probably will be finished deleting all albums and singles from my library in a month or two... if I find enough time. So asking for a solution for this very real problem in the future isn't relevant for me in the year 2025 I guess. But it's a first world problem after all so I keep smiling.

I've found a good method now. I had around 5000 songs in my Liked list. What I did was quite effective in unliking the songs. I did it by logging in Spotify in my browser.

- open the Liked songs list

- press and hold the CTRL button

- mouseclick (left button on mouse) one song while keep holding the CTRL button

- press and hold the SHIFT button

- scroll down to the buttom of the list and mark a song with a mouseclick, left button on mouse

- mouseclick (right button on mouse) on the green button on the right side of the column, and click on the "unlike" menu alternative.

with this method I was able to unlike several hundred song in one click.

Click the first song you wanna unlike and scroll up until the last song you wanna unlike, with shift pressed click the last song, then press the delete key on your keyboard.
