My Question or Issue

How to remove podcast I use to listen but I do not anymore? 

I went to the list, unchecked the "I watch" option but it's still there... Please help me.

Hey there @kangaroo94! Thanks for reaching out.

On mobile, you can remove a podcast or show from Your Library by heading to the podcast’s page and tapping Following to unfollow it.

If you meant a specific episode, just go to your Your Episodes playlist in Your Library, find the episode, tap the three dots next to the title, and then choose the option to remove it. You can read more details about it here.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you meant something else.

Hi! Thanks for the reply!

It doesnt work, I tapped Unfollow a few weeks ago but its still on the list...

Now I.noticed that it's still on the home page on the list even though I checked many other podcast to follow. It's really annoying that Spotify tries to make me happy by force...

Thanks for keeping me in the loop @kangaroo94!

I'd recommend looking for the podcast in the Podcasts tab of your Home feed and tapping the three dots on an episode > Not interested. You can also try the following:

1. Look for the Podcast and click on it

2. Select the gear icon

3. At the bottom, select "Mark as played/Finished"

4. Select "Mark all as finished"

This should help.

Additionally, could you please let me know where exactly you keep seeing the Podcast? Because even if you unfollow it, it might still be showing in your Home, Recently Played, or recommended section for a while after you unfollow it. If that is the case, you can just keep listening to the content you enjoy until the recommendations change. 

You can also support this idea by adding your vote and clicking Subscribe in the three-dots menu at the top right corner. That way, you'll stay updated on any relevant updates!

Hope this helps clear things up!

I tapped three dots - "Not interested" a few weeks ago...

But the Gear icon - "Mark as finished" helped! I didn't even see this option before, thank you!

Have a good one as well (I always prefer to say it instead of 'have a nice day' - american habit) 🙂
