For some reason, a few of my local files have popped up in my liked songs and I can't get rid of them.

I just updated the app on my iPhone and I can confirm that it’s working.
I deleted all the greyed out songs in my library and now they’re all gone.

It (almost) worked for me as well. I was able to delete the songs from my liked songs. But i accidentely deleted one of my local files that i wanted to keep with the other ones. I tried to add it again but although the song is no longer in my liked songs the heart is still filled out so i can't like it again. If i tap the heart nothing happens. I think this is related to the original issue in this discussion. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Yesterday I tried to use the delete key on Windows, but this is also the case. Today, using the delete key can be deleted on Windows. Now there is only a problem on Android

Has this been fixed?

I updated Spotify on Windows and Android. It still is not fixed. 😞

Aw man, this sucks. It's been bothering me for a while now since I have like 100 songs i want to delete but I can't.

I thought it was fixed for me but i just discovered it isn't. The songs don't show up in my liked songs since i deleted them the way it's described here, but i shuffled all songs and suddenly the deleted songs show up in the queue again.Screenshot_20200521-180001.png

My Question or Issue

i added some songs from my local files back on my old phone wich since broke and now the songs are unplayable and i cant remove them from my favorites. Somebody posted this same problem in 2017 but there wasn't a solution on his thread so I'm asking again if somebody might be able to help me get rid of these ghost tracks.

I personally don't think this is ever gonna get fixed. So lesson learned: don't mess around with local files on Spotify since they are buggy
