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.

This is so wrong to not have control to delete from history, that's the reason I prefer go to YouTube to try new songs.

This shouldn't even have to be suggested.  This is a basic functionality that I understand used to be available.  This is just lame.  I bet the competition doesn't have this problem.

so i came up with this idea because when i sleep, ocean and rain sounds typically help me. i started listening to a playlist with 100 parts that had looping wave sounds, but after a few months of this i realized my spotify was only filled with the multiple parts. as someone who enjoys things like spotify wrapped and sharing my stats with others, i dont want to have it be plagued by ocean sounds. help me out here 😞🙏

Echoing what others have said, it's ridiculous that this has been an open issue for five years with no change. There hasn't even been a status update since 2021. Between this and how bad the algorithm has gotten, I think it's time to cancel my Premium. I'm sure there's some financial motive for not fixing this problem, but since people have landed in this thread almost 125,000 times, and I think it's a reasonable assumption that most of us got here because we were looking for an actual solution to this issue, it seems to be a pretty common complaint. Maybe most of those people aren't bothered enough for it to be a make or break, but for me I think this the last straw. Even seeing some official communication more recently than THREE YEARS AGO would make a huge difference.

Sad bump, I shall leave this comment to the void in hopes the idea gets heard.

I am cancelling my family subscription over this and moving to Apple Music. The last status update was 3 years ago and Spotify still has not implemented this feature (a feature they had previously which they removed). Clearly this is an intentional decision on their part. I'll be voting with my dollars.

All I can do is echo everyone who has commented / liked / voted on these pages. I often use Amazon Alexa but so do my family as I have multiple devices throughout my house, the issue is that Amazon only let you link one account and so all their musical mistakes (which there are a lot of!) are infecting my playlist suggestions to the point of it making it pointless. I used to like the ability to thumbs down stuff so I could try and eradicate some of it but alas that feature was removed ages ago. Please add something around this as I am sick to the back teeth of being suggested different ASMR playlists etc

Spotify, come on, this has been here, it has been here for many years. Please add this feature.

My Account got hacked. I hate that my Recommendations are now full of stuff I don't want, because a Stranger used my Account. Even customer service couldn't delete it

Spotify better hurry up with this one or I am deleting my account at the end of this year. Getcho ship together xo
