A tail wagging hello to you!
If you've deleted local files from your Mac but they still appear on Spotify, you may need to remove them from your Spotify library as well. Here are the steps to do so:
Once you've removed the local files from your Spotify library, they should no longer appear in your playlists or saved songs. Note that if the files were part of a playlist, you'll need to remove them from the playlist as well. Additionally, it may take a few moments for the changes to sync between your devices. If you're still seeing the files after following these steps, try logging out of Spotify and logging back in to refresh your library.
Don’t leave me howling at the wind, keep me posted on the situation!

First of all, there isn't any DEL button on any mac keyboard as far as I can tell. And on top of that when right clicking the song, local file, there is absolutely no option to choose "remove from library" or "delete from this playlist". The local files are even not present at all on local harddisk anymore they have been removed from there completely. The only options shown when right clicking are add to play list, add to favorites, add to queue.
Hey @matsorbation!
Could you give this a shot to see if it does the trick: click on the local file you'd like to delete and press Fn + Backspace. You can also try this in the Web Player.
Cheers!
Hi. I have the same issue and this solution doesn't work. Also: on the web player the playlist local files isn't there, but on the local app the playlist still shows.
Hey @sanneroemen,
Thanks for reaching out.
As a next step, you can also try clean reinstalling the app. This will force a resync and will probably solve the issue with your local files.
Let us know how it goes.
YES! this worked thank you!
