[Tutorial] Spotify not playing what you expect it to? How to Clear your Play Queue

[MrTed]

I'm a newbie here, and that's a great way to clear the queue on my PC. Thanks! Any ideas for clearing the queue on the Android app? A lot of people have said that just playing something else will do it, but that just seems to add more to queue. Only workaround is to go into my application manager and clear the data. That pretty well resolves it, but it's a step we shouldn't have to take. Do you know of any other ways to clean up the queue on Android?

I'm afraid there isn't a way to clear the queue on the Android app, at least as far as I know - sorry!

EDIT: You can remove individual manually added tracks by long pressing them and selecting delete while viewing the play queue.

I got that impression from other threads, but thought I'd see if anyone had other ideas. Thanks for responding though. But it seems to work to go into the app manager and clear the data FYI. It's just a workaround, but could be helpful to others.

There's actually a better way and so simple that when I thought about it I couldn't believe I had to have so much time to find it out: you just have to put the last song to play, then your queue now just has one single song

Interestingly, I believe that only works due to this bug:
