Remove Playlist Items API fails for recently added tracks

[OleHendrix]

Hi Spotify Developer Community, I'm experiencing an issue with the Remove Playlist Items API endpoint (DELETE /v1/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks) where removing tracks fails when the tracks have been added recently to the playlist.

Problem Description:

• When I try to delete tracks that were recently added to a playlist, the API request fails

• This happens regardless of whether I include the snapshot_id parameter or not

• Older tracks in the same playlist can be deleted without issues

• The error occurs specifically with tracks that were added after I initially loaded the playlist

Code Example:

// This fails for recently added tracks

const response = await spotifyApi.delete(`playlists/${playlistId}/tracks`, {

data: {

tracks: [{ uri: "spotify:track:trackId" }],

snapshot_id: currentSnapshotId

}

});

What I've Tried:

• Including/excluding the snapshot_id parameter

• Refreshing the playlist data before attempting deletion

• Different timing approaches (waiting before deletion)

Expected Behavior:

• Should be able to remove any track from a playlist, regardless of when it was added

• The API should work consistently for all tracks in a playlist

Environment:

• Using Spotify Web API v1

• Authorization: Authorization Code with PKCE

• Scopes: playlist-modify-public, playlist-modify-private

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
