Hi @user-removed. Short of completely deleting the account/creating a new one, no. Unfortunately your history is there to stay. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

If you want to remove everything from your Spotify library, then you should be able to do so from within the Spotify client.

 

Go to your Spotify preferences and untick any sources you've got selected for Local Files.

Then go to the "Local Files" view in Spotify (under "Collection"). And select all the tracks in there (CTRL+A might come in handy). Then you should be able to right click and delete them all, or just hit "Delete" on your keyboard.

 

You should then have an empty Local Files area.

If you want to delete several playlists at once:

 

Put all the playlists in a playlist folder:

Then right-click the playlist folder, in this example "Playlists". And select "Delete Folder  Playlists"

Then click "Delete" at the prompt:

That should delete all the playlists in the folder (and the folder itself).

Uninstalling Spotify will not remove playlists because playlists are tied to your account and are stored on the Spotify servers, so the only way of removing them is from within the client.

 

Let me know if that helps.
