Can't delete songs from iCloud

I recently deleted 100+ songs from my PC.  When I went to sync my iphone, all of the songs remained on my phone.  I also have itunes match, and wifi sync enabled on both devices.  Still, all the songs remain on my phone.
If I turn off itunes match on my phone, the song placement is just random, I don't even know how it's sorting what to put on my phone, but just a random 50% of them are there.  So that doesn't work at all.
In iTunes on my PC, If I click "On this iPhone" all of the songs are there.  If I go to my music library on my PC, only the songs I need are there.  I have tried syncing, restarting, (everything is updated) called apple care a couple times (I lost the call halfway so never got to finish) but it was nothing that they could fix in a 10 minute period.  Any ideas?

1)delete those 100 songs from the folder on your pc NOT itunes
2)plug in iphone and sync
3) in itunes find those 100 songs, sort by the cloud icon to make this easier...
4) right click on them and delete them.... another box will appear... Do you want to HIDE these items from icloud aswell? CLICK YES

  • HT4914 Why do I have to pay $ to delete songs from iCloud?

    So you're telling me I have to PAY $24.99 per month to DELETE songs from iCloud? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

    I think you are confusing iTunes purchases with iTunes Match.
    What exactly are you trying to do?
    You can not delete iTunes purchases but you can hide them so they don't show up on your devices:

  • Use iPhone/iPad to Permanently Delete Songs from iCloud/iTunes Match

    I have iCloud and iTunes Match, but I am doing my annual "spring cleaning" (yes, I know it's winter) of songs I don't really listen to or want to keep anymore. I want to delete them permanently from iCloud/iTunes Match. I used to do this in iTunes on a computer. I would delete them from the Song list and it would prompt me with a question to the effect of "Do you want to delete these from iCloud as well?"
    Well, I am operating solely on an iPhone and an iPad now. I don't have a computer anymore. So I don't have iTunes software anymore and thus don't have this means of deleting songs from iCloud. I don't know how to delete songs from iCloud USING my mobile device. If I delete a song from a playlist or from the device itself, it is still out there in iCloud and still shows up in the list of songs at my disposal. I DON'T want to cheat the system and turn off the settings feature that "shows all music" in iCloud because then I won't be able to see anything I have at my disposal in iCloud. I want to be able to see my songs in iCloud, but I want to be able to permanently delete from said iCloud songs that I don't care about anymore.
    So how do I do it from iOS devices?
    Please don't tell me it can't be done without iTunes on a computer. That will just irritate me and drive another nail in the coffin of my growing frustration with Apple.

    I honestly don't think you can do it. Nothing I've found online allows you to do this, which is awful because these songs still show up and play when on shuffle. I've even selected "only show me music on this device" and I still see some songs I've deleted and are only on icloud and I have no option to swipe and delete. I'm with you... forcing me to do this on my pc when every other need for syncing has since been removed is very annoying.

  • Deleting songs from iCloud seems to not be working for me?

    Hello,
    I'm having a huge problem currently. I have read the faqs on "How to delete songs from iCloud?" and understand it perfectly. But tonight I'm trying to delete this album out off my computer and it was deleted because I seen the album go straight to the trash. I emptied the trash can and for some reason when I go to click "Update iTunes Match". The album I deleted pops back up via iCloud. Now I then deleted that hoping the songs would delete from the iCloud also. Well loe and behold the songs came back again via iCloud. These aren't purchases made via iTunes. These are songs I've uploaded using a purchased music CD from Best Buy. And they seem to not be able to leave iCloud for some reason. No matter how many times I have to delete them.
    Is there any way around this?
    I have iTunes Match and I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS Mavericks).

    Hello Kitkat1017,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you are both logged in to the same Apple ID in your Messages settings, which would cause you to get the same messages on both devices.  If you select "Send & Recieve" in your Messages settings, you will likely see the same Apple ID logged in on both devices.

  • Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

    Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

  • Delete Dialogue not appearing... can't delete songs from hard-drive

    After downloading ver 7.0.2 I can't delete songs from my hard-drive by deleting them in iTunes.
    There's supposed to be a dialogue(sp?) box that shows up when you delete a song in the main library (not in playlists), that asks you if you want to permanantly delete a file (song, movie, etc), or if you only want to delete it from the iTunes list.
    It's not showing up for me, so I have to seek out the folder and delete the song manually in Windows.
    I'd get this problem occasionaly in the older versions, but usually a restart of the program, or in worse cases, rebooting the computer would solve the problem, but not this time.
    I've tried re-installing the program, but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I tried the following fix, and it didn't work..
    Is anyone else having this problem after upgrading to 7.0.2?
    I'm sure I didn't check the box in the delete dialog that says "do not show this again"
    I've also tried hitting the shift key when deleting.. still no luck.
    HELP!!
    Resetting the iTunes Preference Files:
    -- Quit iTunes
    -- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    -- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
    You may need to enable 'Show Hidden Files/Folders' in Windows Explorer==>Tools menu==>Folder Options==>’View’ tab before you can see the Application Data & Local Settings folders.
    This will force iTunes to run the setup assistance the next time you open it. You'll have to go back and re-set any preferences you want changed from the iTunes default. When you restart iTunes, it will perform its initial startup process. Do not let iTunes search for your music files. The old library is still there and iTunes will see it after it gets past the initial dialog screens.

  • How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

    I downloaded some free iBooks.  After I read them, I clicked "delete" and a dialog box said they are deleted from my computer but remain in iCloud and can be downloaded later.  But I want to delete them from iCloud as well as from my computer.  How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

    You cannot delete them form icloud.
    Icloud is a service that allows redownloading of past purchases.  That is the point.

  • Change of functionality in deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match with the 11.0.2 version of iTunes?

    I updated to iTunes 11.0.2 and this version brought a change of wording regarding deleting songs from iCloud/iTunes Match, and I'd like to know if there are any changes in functionality to match the change in wording:
    With version 11.0.2, when I try to delete any song (uploaded, matched or purchased) I'm presented with a pop-up dialog box that asks me if I'm sure and also gives me a "Also hide this song from iCloud?" option.
    In prior iTunes versions the pop-up dialog box would ask instead "Also delete this song from iCloud?".
    Has the functionality changed? If so, what's the difference in functionality between 11.0.2 and previous versions? If the functionality of deleting songs has changed, how do I delete an uploaded song from both my local library and iCloud/iTunes Match?

    I am having the same issue- pelase could anyone help? Mods?

  • TS4124 Can't see songs from iCloud on my iPhone 4

    After iOs 6 upgrade, can't get songs from iCloud to show up on my phone.

    Are you an iTunes Match subcriber?  If so make sure iTunes Match is set to On in Settings>Music and in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then to see your entire library, make sure Settings>Music>Show All Music is set to On.

    can i delete songs from my ipod classic

    Hello Todd,
    You can't delete them directly from the iPod.  You need to do it through iTunes.  How you delete music depends on how you have it set up to sync with your iTunes library, whether that be automatically or manually.  All this is covered in your iPod's User Guide.

    Yes, but a different way.
    Open up "Music" , navigate to the song(s) you wan tto get rid of, and swipe left on the song you want to delete. The "delete" icon will show up.
    If you wish to delete all the songs:
    Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete

  • Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

    I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • How can I delete songs from my Iphone music

    How can I delete songs from my music in my Iphone 4

    If you have updated to iOS 7, then you can swipe from from right to left on the song that you want to remove and click the red "delete" button.
    Alternatively, you can select the "Playlists" tab at the bottom of the music app > then select the playlist that contains the song that you want to delete > Click the edit button > Press the red circle with the dash through it next to the song that you want to delete.
    Let me know what iOS version you have if you have not already downloaded iOS 7.
    Hope that helps
