Help!! how can I get rid of all this icloud music on my phone??

I just upgraded to ios 7, and now there is a huge amount of my son's music on my phone and I cannot find any way to get rid of it. Oh, how I loathe apple file management!
This music must be from itunes on his computer--we use a common account. I have manage music manually checked, I never sync to itunes. All of the unwanted music has little clouds with arrows on it. It does not appear in my music library, and in usual apple idiotic fashion, there is no way to delete from the phone itself
I have deleted my icloud account, which ios 7 so graciously reactivated, but the unwanted songs still appear in my playlist.
Please help--this destroys my music library
TIA

Go in Settings. Then in "Itunes & AppStore". Deselect "Music" and "Videos" on top. This would solve the problem with the Music and Videofiles in the cloud, that you seem to see.
The music isn't actually on your iphone. It just shows you what is in the cloud.

    Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

    Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.
    See The Storage Display for an explanation, and don't miss the link to Where did my Disk Space go?

    I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
    I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

  • My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars???

    'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

    Yu can try this program.  If unsuccessful, the contents of the iPod will be deleted if yu update/restore with the iPod in recovery mode.

    I bought this used I Pad 2.  It still has the lady's password connected to everything- can't even upgrade her Netflix account- cause it's Her password! Ugh!
    Has 500 photos of her kids' crap and a bunch of Apps I don't want.   And videos. What do I do to get rid of all this?!
    THANK YOU!

    On the iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings, or restore the iPad with iTunes on your computer as a new iPad.

  • How can i get rid of all my "other" space? it takes up 1.47 gb.

    My iPod has slowly accumulated 1.47 gb of "other" space. How do I get rid of it?

    By restoring the iPod to factory defaults.  Other can be made up by things such as album artwork, the iPod's operating system, etc.  However, sometimes it can also include corrupt files or data that is no longer recognizable by iTunes or your iPod.

  • HOW CAN I GET RID OF ALL MY PICTURES IN LIGHTROOM ?

    I SENT MY PICTURES FROM MY COMPUTER TO LIGHTROOM 5  AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO WORK ON ANYONE OF THEM   I CANNOT LOCATE THE PANEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE LEFT SIDE. HOW CAN I GET ACCESS TO THE TWO PANELS?

    Click the little triangle arrow heads in the vertical center of the left and right sides to open the left and right panels.  Or hit Shift-Tab to alternative hide and show them. 
    You also need to be in Library mode to click from one folder to the next.

  • How can I get rid of all the 'adobe' sources listed when importing in Lightroom?

    How can I get these files to eject/disappear? I have tried searching them in finder and can't find them? Thank you.

    Those appear to be disk-image files (extension .DMG) somewhere on your hard drive, perhaps that are mounted as volumes and you need to eject or unmount them.  They are likely installers downloaded from Adobe.

  • How can i get rid of all of the "other" stuff on my ipod.

    I can't get it and my ipod is over capacity because of the "other" stuff on there .

    An other less that about 1 1/2 GB is normal.
    If larger that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • Getting rid of PSE7 trial, how can I get rid of all the files?

    I'm trying to get an older version of PSE on my pc, but since Ihad the  trail of PSE7 on it, there's still some files around on my computer that is stopping me from getting my old one back, and since the trial has long-since expired I'm stuck without an art program to work with.
    Someone told me there should be a utility program on the site... But I have yet to find it.

    Type regedit in  your Vista search bar.  You'll have to type the entire word before it shows up in the program list. Double click it when it shows up in the programs list to open as any other application.  Be sure you back up your registry before tinking with anything.

  • HT1417 i have about 1000 songs in my library and about another 300 with the ! to the left of the song AND a bunch of duplicates. How can i get rid of all the songs with the ! and my duplicates and totally organize my library at the same time without check

    everything in post

    If the media is in the standard iTunes folder structure or something similar then I have a script called FindTracks that can often repair things. For more details on how it works see this thread.
    For duplicates I have another script called DeDuper that cleans up, while preserving playlist membership, highest rating and merging play counts. Please heed the warning to backup first and review this background thread on what it does.
