Can't delete empty playlist folder in the new Spotify Android update.

Solved!

Can't delete empty playlist folder in the new Spotify Android update.

Here is my desktop Spotify playlist http://i.imgur.com/S5b3E.jpg and here is my mobile Spotify playlist http://i.imgur.com/B6faU.png Now for some reason or another, I've tried EVERTHING imaginable to try and delete that Timbaland playlist in the bottom of my mobile version. When you click on it, it opens and shows theres a T.I. album in their, and that has no music in it and is non deleteable. So I come to the Spotify community for help! Thanks in advance for any possible solutions!

It is! Thanks! :]

Hey Richard,

 

It seems I have lost 3 collaborative playlists from my spotify account since the help you gave me yesterday. Do you have any idea how this could have happened?

 

Regards

I deleted the playlists you asked for. What were the others called? I'll see if I can restore them.

Hi Richard,

 

I have the same problem here: a floating folder (Petra), only visible on Android and iOS, but not capable of deleting it. I suppose a corrupted profile as well? I'd be glad if you could fix it for me.

 

Thnx 🙂

 

Cheers.

Hi Richard,

 

Perfect! I could remove the floating folder. Everything seems to be fine now.

 

Thnx!

 

Cheers.

Dear Richard

 

I was able to restore them from a the pinned playlists on the Windows 7 startbar thankfully. However I now have a repeat of the previous issue with playlists undownloading and redownloading.

 

JD and JB has started reappearing on a regular basis as a downloaded playlist on my android device and the playlist Quiet requires redwonloading everytime. Could JD and JB be deleted (from the device not my account) and could it made so that Quiet is on permanant download?

 

This is pretty crazy, is there no fix that can be applied to the android application? I don't imagine you're directly responsible for that but do you know if there is something on the way?

 

Thank very much for your help,

 

Regards

The unsyncing issue is one we're absolutely aware of at the moment, see this thread: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Playlists-keep-disappearing-unsyncing/td-p/162992

 

Right now, I don't have a fix for that but the right guys are on it.  With that in mind, do you still want that playlist deleted? (It might not do much to help)
