My Question or Issue

I deleted a collaborative playlist about three weeks ago. I was the creator of the playlist, and at the time I deleted it, the other collaborator had it saved, so it said "1 save" under our names. I recovered the playlist today and while they are still listed as a collaborator, there is no longer a "save" on the playlist. Is this a result of me deleting the playlist and it disappearing from their library? Or would it have stayed in their library despite me deleting it? 

Basically I am trying to figure out if they unsaved it or if me deleting it removed it from their library. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey @leadcoachemily,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome. 

If you deleted the playlist being the owner, it will still be displayed in the collaborators library if you didn't remove them prior to deletion. So if you recovered the playlist it should keep displaying the other user as collaborator and "1 save" if they didn't unsave it. In case they did, they just need to hit the "Save" button again and it will be back to normal 🙂

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you. Just to clarify, deleting a playlist doesn't remove it from someone's library who had it saved? I'm just wondering because I would think if it's deleted, it would delete for everyone. Or does this only happen after the recovery period has passed?

Hey again @leadcoachemily,

Deleting a Collaborative playlist from your end should not remove it from the account of the other collaborators as they are co-creators as well. 
They can remove it from their profile if they leave it or delete it from their library themselves.
Hope this clears things up! 🙌🏼
