How can I remove ALL downloads, on ALL devices?

When I go to settings>storage>remove downloads, it only removes those on the device I am using, not others. What happened is that Spotify still recognizes my broken phone, which got factory reset, so now I am unable to download anything on my new phone. I've researched about this and I can't seem to find what the tutorials on YouTube show on the website or app.

It sounds like there may be some confusion about how Spotify stores downloaded content and how it recognizes devices. When you download content from Spotify, it is typically stored on the device's internal storage or an external SD card, depending on your device settings. When you remove downloads through the settings, it only removes those specific downloads from that particular device.

 

Regarding the issue with Spotify recognizing your broken phone, it's possible that the device was not properly removed from your Spotify account. You can try logging out of Spotify on all devices and then logging back in on your new phone to see if that resolves the issue.

To log out of all devices on Spotify, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Spotify app on your mobile device or computer.
  2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the app.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and click on "Log Out Everywhere".
  4. A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm if you want to log out of all devices. Click "Log Out" to confirm.

Note that this will log you out of all devices that are currently logged in to your Spotify account, including any mobile devices, tablets, computers, and smart speakers. You will need to log back in to each device separately using your username and password.

Hope to resolve the issue,

Just got a new phone and am having the same issue. Tried signing out on all devices but this does not clear the downloads from my old phone which is no longer in my possession. Spotify only allows a certain amount of downloads total across all devices and it won't allow me to download anything on my new device until I've deleted everything from another device but I no longer have that other device so... Surely there's a way for Spotify to clear all downloads from all devices?

I am having the same issue. 
I have sold the old devices and want to clean up my device list, but cannot find it! 
Please help!

I had to contact customer support and have them do it. There’s no way to do it on your own.
