Hi there @cwsi,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Have you tried deleting it from your PC as well? Note that it may take some time for the playlist to expire after it's been deleted, but as long as it's gone from Your Library, then there's nothing to worry about.

If you're still seeing the playlist on your Home page or Recently played, just keep listening to the stuff you enjoy and it should eventually disappear - the app will replace it with new entries.

Hope this clears things up. Cheers 🤘

My Question or Issue

Hi so I deleted a playlist that I no longer wanted anymore and it is still showing up on my home page and recommended. I would imagine it would be important to note that I was not the original owner of this playlist, it was a public playlist that I made with someone else and they owned it. I did everything: I left the playlist, I hit delete, I removed it from my taste profile, and nothing; it was still there. I logged out and back in, deleted the spotify app and reinstalled it, cleared my cache, and made sure everything was updated, still nothing. I even tried listening to a bunch of other playlists to try to push it out of my recommended and it STILL is in my home screen. Every time I hit delete now it just says "Something went wrong" (note I am now the owner of the playlist so it should delete). Also, I put this under computer problems but it's happening across all of my devices, including my IOS. It is so annoying and I made it with someone who I'm no longer on speaking terms with so I would rather not have the reminder. Any help would be awesome.

Since a couple of days it has been impossible to add or delete playlist, i also have 3 of the double in my library which is weird. i tried on phone, web browser and via the app and everywhere i get the same message that its deleted from my library but a second later it reappears again

Edit: Maybe some help in terms of error but looking via the web player it looks like my account cant connect to a server or something as i see some post errors(might have nothing to do with it tho) and get the message "something went wrong"

This is also happening to me and I cannot figure out why or how to fix it! I have tried on phone app and web browser. I’ve deleted app and redownloaded, cleared my cache, logged out and back in, and even restarted phone and laptop. 😞

I use spotify on my iPhone for reference. When I go to the three dots on a playlist and click delete playlist, absolutely nothing happens and the playlist still exists. I just want to delete my old playlists and clean out everything. I have already looked through threads on here and tried every thing, and still the same issue—my playlists just won’t go extinct.
- Yes, I’m on the right account
- I own the playlist, no one else is on it
- I have logged out and logged back in numerous times, also updated the app, deleted it numerous times and logged back in, still the same issue
- I even have the same issue happening when I use Spotify on my PC. Well, there literally no delete playlist option.
