Trying to tidy up your Spotify playlists?
Whether you want to remove old playlists you don’t listen to anymore or just clean up your library, deleting a playlist on Spotify is super easy.
Here’s a quick guide to show you exactly how to do it — on both mobile and desktop!
How To Delete a Playlist on Spotify (Mobile)
-
Open the Spotify app on your iPhone or Android device.
-
Go to “Your Library” at the bottom of the screen.
-
Tap “Playlists” and select the playlist you want to delete.
-
Inside the playlist, tap the three horizontal dots (you’ll find them near the top center of the screen).
-
Scroll down and tap “Delete Playlist.”
-
Confirm by tapping “Delete” again.
And just like that — your playlist is gone!
What About Playlists You Didn’t Create?
If you’re trying to remove a playlist that was shared with you (one you didn’t personally create), you won’t see the “Delete Playlist” option.
Instead, you’ll see an option to “Leave Playlist.”
Here’s how:
-
Tap the three dots inside the shared playlist.
-
Scroll down and tap “Leave Playlist.”
-
Confirm, and you’ll no longer see that playlist in your library.
It’s like ghosting a playlist without any hard feelings. 😅
How To Delete a Playlist on Spotify (Desktop)
On your computer, it’s just as simple:
-
Open the Spotify desktop app or Spotify Web Player.
-
Click on “Your Library” and find the playlist you want to delete.
-
Right-click on the playlist name.
-
Select “Delete” or “Remove from Library.”
-
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Poof! Playlist deleted.
Final Tips
-
Deleting a playlist only removes it from your library.
-
If you’re leaving a shared playlist, it won’t affect other users — it simply disappears from your personal library.
