Removing items from Recently Played history

I would also like it if we had the option to remove our recently played history because sometimes I would listen to someone's playlist, an artist, or one of my own playlists by accident and I don't really listen to the playlist or artist anymore or I already have a song by that artist and it doesn't make sense to keep it in my library or recently played history.

My profile was compromised because of the *lack of the most basic security feature of 2FA* and now I have a bunch of garbage reggaeton music in my otherwise metal profile. Being able to remove items from my history so**bleep** stops showing up in my generated playlists sure would be A BASIC FEATURE...I mean, great.

It's been 3 years, how did this not get added even after following your protocols of ideas and votes etc?

This is a very basic necessity when it comes to a music application, as there is a plethora of scenarios where unwanted music gets played and alters your algorithm.

 

Please, just add it already...

We have a feature called Listening History, it would be an amazing idea to edit (remove, delete) any album or song we do not want to be shown there.

  • It may happen that for some reason someone clicks on a song, audiobook or podcast that they don't like so much, and soon after, one of these items always appears on the homepage like a curse, in addition to harming the algorithm's recommendations.
  • Therefore, this option to objectively delete the history can save many profiles that want to stay organized and clean.

5 years, 6 months, 16 days, 14 hours and 49 minutes have passed and this MUST-HAVE functionality has still not been implemented, what are devs at Spotify doing anyway?

Spotify is amazing!

They've managed to make a big change to the recently played, and completely ignored this core issue that's been around for years!  It takes skills to be this ignorant.

How is this basic functionality not available on Spotify?  As a paid subscriber, I should be able to edit my listening history.  There are hundreds of comments here requesting that feature.  I was shocked to learn today that it's not possible.  Please, stop ignoring this feedback from the Spotify community.

We need to have the ability to remove songs from our listening history, if we so choose.

I was recently hacked & I have all of these inferior rubbish songs on my on-repeat playlist. The algorithm is supposed to be made for each users music preferences and we should be able to say "Hey, I didn't listen to that and I don't want to hear it again!"
