Removing items from Recently Played history

[iLaurynn]

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.

Hi Spotify Team,

I love using Spotify, but I’d like to request a feature that allows users to clean up the “Your Library” section. Right now, albums and artists I listened to once (but don’t want to see anymore) keep appearing, and there’s no way to manually remove them.

It would be really helpful to have an option to hide or remove albums and artists from the library, just like we can manage playlists and liked songs. Many users have mentioned that this would improve their experience.

Are there any plans to add this feature in the future? It would be great to have more control over our library!

Thanks for your time. I hope you consider this improvement

Spotify users should have the ability to delete their history from recents and on the front page/suggestions. (As seen in the attachments below)

Sometimes, we listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks that don’t align with our tastes. We don’t want this “incorrect” history to be used when recommending content to us. Therefore, I kindly ask you to add a feature that allows us to edit our listening history in the Recents section.

Thank you

Hello Spotify,

Please add the option to delete search history for both music and podcasts. My home page and library are getting so cluttered it's hard to find what I actually like and want to listen to. It is causing me to feel very anxious. I don't enjoy searching and trying new songs or podcasts anymore. I could understand if I was using the free option, but I'm paying for Premium Duo. Thanks in advance for your serious consideration. It's very obvious I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I would like to suggest adding an option that allows users to delete individual songs, albums, podcasts, or playlists from the Recently Played section on the desktop and mobile applications.

Currently, users have no control over their Recently Played list, which is quite surprising given Spotify’s scale and focus on user experience.

Many other platforms such as YouTube and Netflix already allow users to manage their watch or listen history individually.

Having control over personal listening history is crucial for:

User privacy

Cleaner personal experience

Better personalization

Sometimes users simply don't want certain items lingering in their history, for personal, professional, or privacy reasons.

I believe adding this basic feature would significantly enhance user satisfaction and show that Spotify listens to its community.

If you agree and would like this feature too, please give this post a Like so that Spotify can see how much it matters to us!

Thank you for considering this improvement.

Best regards
