Recover deleted playlist

Solved!

Recover deleted playlist

Know this is a long shot but.... I've accidentally deleted a playlist I've spent weeks working on. Is there any way of getting it back?

It's called 'Boat party' and there was about 100 songs on it. Thanks.

Hi 

 

Have done the same when syncing my IPAD, in error I deleted my playlist named: Topsoil, and when it synced all it was gone on my computer as well. I'm not so lucky I have Apple on the computer it's Microsoft, my account name is : stefanlrabt.

 

Premium subscriber, what can you do possibly to get it back?

 

Many thanks for trying

I accidentally just deleted one of my playlists. The title of it is a music note (dot) heart (dot) smiley face. Would you mind recovering that for me? Thanks so much!

 

Edit* recovered it myself as well. if you have Spotify linked with facebook, you can click on a song in your playlist, and your playlist will open up in Spotify. Click the title of the playlist and drag it into your sidebar of playlists. Enjoy! 🙂

Hi jlusby- Please log out and log back  into your app. You should find those stereotypically 80's tracks are back!

 

As far as the 'confirm' button I don't believe that's ever been an option when deleting just one track. However, when you delete a playlist you're given the option to 'Keep' or 'Delete' before that deletion goes through.

While at the moment there isn't an option to make deleting playlists password protected, it might worth adding it to our  Ideas Section. We can then get a feel for how many other users would find this helpful. 

 

RyanCaren- Your "YEAH BUDDDDY" playlist should be restored now. However, I want to be sure you're aware you've got two accounts with us. 

 

One has the username 'ryancaren' username, while the other is linked to your Facebook (this has the YEAH BUDDDDY playlist). If you'd like to use just one let me know--I can send you can email wiith some more instructions.

Hey jmendes5 - I've reverted your playlists back to an earlier state before things went missing. I hope that helps.

 

If you ever need to backup your playlists just drag them out onto your desktop and store them somewhere safe. You can restore them later at any time.

Hey all, I'm afraid we're a bit overwhelmed with posts here so won't be able to help everyone out individually. Trust us, it'd be a mess.

 

If you're missing playlists please get in touch through our contact form and we'll try to get to you asap. You'll probably get a faster response this way, in fact.

 

hpguru - when you delete a playlist, a pop-up asks you 'Do you really want to delete this playlist?' - so this should be enough to stop accidental deletions.

 

Remember, you can backup your playlists at any time by dragging them out to the desktop. Clicking on them from there will launch them in Spotify.

Tom - This may be the case, unfortunately. If you could head to 'Preferences' in your Spotify ('Edit' in Windows, 'Spotify' on a Mac), then under 'Playback' make sure the 'Hide unplayable tracks' box is not checked. If the song has been removed, it will still show up here, but it will be faded out. Is this the case? It should allow you to see the name of the track.

Hey Paul,

 

Would this be the playlist you're looking for?  80s: nightclub

Hi Meredith - no - that one  is still there! I deleted one called 80: cheesy movies school discos (something like that) - deleted from my BB as i (wrongly ) thought you could delete a playlist there and it would stay on your 'main' desktop - wrong! Can you see the otehr playlist anywhere? Had about 200 + tracks on it? help much appreciated (and thanks for coming back so quickly!)

Hi Pauldahill,

Just sent you an email with a playlist titled 'school discos and cheesy movies'--think we've got it this time.

Have a look in your inbox and let me know if that's what you're looking for.

Hello Meredith or any moderator out there, I recently purchased premium again, and by accident removed my absolute favorite list, which i've been adding songs to since 2010! Please help me get it back if you can, I would appreciate it so much. It should be called: slappppp (I'm sorry but i dont know how many P's exactly). Best regards.
