Auto-delete played and/or downloaded podcast episodes

This suggestion has been posted before, but it needs to be suggested again until it is implemented.

There absolutely needs to be an option to delete played episodes from the episode list. Not everyone will use this, but many will, and it's considered basic functionality on other podcast software by now. The same option should exist for downloaded episodes.

If Spotify wants to compete with established podcast software, they need to at least match the basic feature set. This is not a "bells and whistles" kind of feature.

 

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for staying with us and waiting for the updates on this one.

 

Happy to let you know that this suggestion has been implemented 🙂

If you have trouble finding the feature, you can post in our Help Boards. And if you have any suggestions on how to improve it, you can post a new idea.

 

Cheers!

The app/podcast setting icon no longer works. I can't auto-remove played podcasts.

Nothing has been implemented? Why can’t Spotify seem to do a simple fix on a delete function of episode and full podcast? I’ve tried the things posted and true crime with Kendall Rae will NEVER go away!!!
