Can't delete podcasts from Ipod Touch

I have an Ipod Nano and an Itouch, and I manually manage the podcasts on both of them. The Nano works fine. On the Itouch, I can connect my Itouch, go into podcasts under my device, and delete them, but they aren't deleted from my Itouch. However, they no longer show up in Itunes. It seems bizarre that Itunes not only can't delete them, but actually thinks that they are gone from the Itouch, when they are clearly still there. Any suggestions for how to get the Itouch to work like the Nano?

I have this same problem and I have to say, reformatting your iPod is a terrible solution. Actually, I don't know that it qualifies as a solution at all. Obviously if you delete everything and then just put back the files you want, you can delete the buggy podcasts. The hope is that there's some way to do it without wasting the extraordinary time and effort that it would take to reload an iPod--especially if your HD isn't big enough to save all the sources.
It's absolutely ridiculous that this software has such a silly bug and yet, because of the holy Apple code of keeping everything closed--no access to the files in any usable way, no third party analysis/repair software, no advanced settings in iTunes and absolutely zero management functionality on the iPod--you end having to delete everything whenever anything goes wrong. What kind of crappy computer product allows for only one way of addressing all the problems (namely nuking your device)?

I can't delete podcasts in "I"Tunes

"I"'ve got an "I"Problem. "I" updated my Windows "I"Tunes today to version 11.1.0.126. The NEWEST "I", LATEST "I", GREATEST "I" , "I"TUNES! Now "I" can't delete any of the podcasts in the list (that are not yet downloaded)? "I" highlight one, two, many, hit the delete key and nothing "I" happens? "I" wonder why is this? This has never happened, to "I" before, when "I"'ve updated "I"Tunes why now? Am "I" missing something? Why is it "I" have trouble with "I"Tunes everytime "I" update it? "I" yi, yi, yi "I"!

In the future, try a search before posting.
There are several other threads about this same issue.
It is simply the way the current version of iTunes works, whether this is a bug or by design, no one knows. Apple has said nothing about it yet.

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.

How can I delete podcasts from the Apple TV podcast menu on my television?

There are podcasts that I prefer my kids not know I listen to...they are gone from iTunes yet they appear on the Apple TV menu and I can't seem to figure out how to delete them? Is it possible? Thanks!

Helo utahskierdave,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

How can i delete podcasts in v 11.1?

Any solutions yet for deleting podcasts in iTunes v 11.1?

Previously it was possible to delete non-downloaded episodes from the List View, but this has been removed. However in 'My Podcasts' view you have an 'old episodes' button to show un-downloaded ones. When you click 'Done' these disappear again, but you can choose to show selected episodes in the main view by clicking on the grey circle at right of the title.
Of course downloaded episodes and entire podcasts can be deleted in the usual way by clicking once and hitting the delete key.

Can't delete podcast "downloadable" episodes

itunes 12 just seems to have changed behavior on me.
I listen to podcasts, then usually delete them. never used to be a problem.
Recently, all those deleted podcasts have come back again. They all have the cloud bubble, so they're not on my computer, but they're clogging up my list of podcasts. I used to be able to delete these cloud links, but not any more. Delete key, option delete, or right clicking and selecting delete, these episode pointers remain. Doubly strange, as I used to be able to delete them just a few days ago, and itunes hasn't come out with a new version that screwed things up.
Anyone else having this issue?

Delete the podcast itself from your Podcasts item in the source list. Also, go through the library, and delete the episodes. Make sure they're removed from any list that the iPod updates from.

Can't delete podcasts from iPod Touch!!! They still remain using space!!

Ok ok, look. I can make them not SHOW UP anymore, but they are STILL ON THE IPOD.
If I make a smart playlist where podcast=true and move it to the ipod, i can SEE they are still on the ipod!! But you cannot delete files from the smart playlist!!
I dont want to delete them from iTunes because I want to still have them archived on my computer.
If i deselect all podcasts from the sync menu, then sync, they are only removed from the podcasts display on the ipod... the actual files are still taking up space on the ipod
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS. some of us WANT manual control of the files, not just sync this and that.
right now, my ONLY solution I can find is to restore the ipod, reload all my music i want to keep, reload my apps, etc etc.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE SOME PODCASTS!!!
Does ANYONE have a workaround?!?!

just to say, you can delete items from itunes, and still have them stored on your computer, just click 'keep file' and it will be removed from itunes yet still be stored in the podcast file (or songs etc.)
i'm not sure whether this will solve your problem, and i haven't had much experience with smart playlists, so i'm not sure how to get them to do what you want, but I have some podcasts that i want to sync automatically, and others that i don't. last night i worked out how to do it.
1. my ipod is set to sync manually
2. under the podcasts tab, it is set to sync '10 least recent unplayed' (there are several different options to choose to your requirements) episodes of selected podcasts.
3. in the podcasts boxes, the ones i want to sync are checked.
4. these now sync to my ipod.
5. but, because i am manually managing my songs etc. i can still drag and drop any others that i want to my ipod.
but i'm a bit confused. you are using smart playlists to transfer your podcasts to your ipod. as i say, i'm not too familiar with smart playlists, but is there a reason why you don't just drag and drop them to the ipod/sync them using just the podcast syncing feature?

How can I delete podcasts from my Mac without them deleting on my iPhone?

I'm trying to free up some space on my office Mac, and there's only one podcast out of several I actually listen to at work. So I deleted one of the other, bigger podcasts from the list in iTunes.
Unfortunately, when I go into the Podcasts app on my iPhone, that podcast has now been deleted from there too. How can I unlink them so that the podcasts I have on my iPhone don't automatically download on my Mac?

when I delete photos in iPhoto will it delete the same ones on my iPhone via iCloud or the next time I plug in my phone?
If you send the photos to your phone using iTunes Photo Sync (iOS: Syncing with iTunes), yes then the albums and photos that are no longer available on your mac, will be remove from your synced IOS device. To keep them permanently on your phone, save them to the Camera Roll.

Can't delete podcasts in iTunes 11.1

newly updated iTunes 11.1 shows old podcasts which can't be deleted... any ideas for a solution?

I have the same behaviour, but it appears to be a bug in the "list view". Some podcasts display old episodes, others do not.
For me, when I change to the "My Podcasts" view the old episodes are not visible, and there is an icon for "Old Episodes". Be careful if you press it, the next view is "Add All" and "Done". Your mouse pointer will be over "Add All". Although if you hit "Add All" old episodes are only added to the visible podcasts, and not automatically downloaded. I have found that I could delete them again without downloading.
'Tis shame, as list view was my preferred choice. I'll have to use "My Podcasts" view until the bug fix.

Can't delete podcast from nano

My wife has a nano and now has a podcast on it that we can't get off.
On the iTunes screen, she has a "D's iPod" node and a "D's iPod Selection" node. The "D's iPod Selection" has all the songs she wants on the iPod. She then right-clicks on the "D's iPod" node and picks update. That should update the nano with all the songs from the "D's iPod Selection" and remove any songs not listed from the iPod.
The podcast in question shows up in the "D's iPod" but not in the "D's iPod Selection". However, when she does an update, it doesn't remove the podcast. Any ideas on how to remove it?

Podcast failed to download, can't delete podcast entry

I tried to download podcasts, but they failed, but the titles are still in download area. How to delete these files?

How can audio files show up in a smart playlist but not be listed under music or podcast?
No idea. They must be somewhere in the library, otherwise they would not appear in (Smart) playlists.
Is there any way to delete them from the library?
Select the file(s) in the playlist, hold the Option key, then press Delete.
This will normally remove the file from both the playlist and the library.
Hope this helps.

Can't delete podcast headers

I have an Ipod Nano and ITunes is set for manual management. IPod is used primarily for listening to podcasts. After listening to a batch of podcasts, they are deleted by using ITunes. A 'header' is placed on the IPod into which the podcasts are loaded, but some of these 'headers' are no longer required, but I cannot delete them.
Can someone please tell me how this is done.

How can I delete podcasts and TV shows?

Hi. I downloaded my first video podcast and first TV episode directly from the iTunes app to my iPad, now that I have watched them with the iPod app, I want to delete them, but I haven't been able to find a way to do so. I have no interest on keeping them, nor syncing them back to my Mac. Is there a way to delete them directly from the iPad? Thanks!
Cesar

HI Cesar,
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select TVShows from the menu. You can delete the files there.
Is there a way to delete them directly from the iPad?
Not sure if that can be done.
You need a Mac with the system requirements here. http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
v10.5.8 or later
