How do I delete downloaded podcast episodes?

Hello,
I am using an iPod touch. Using iTunes on the iPod, I downloaded some podcast episodes. (I did not subscribe to podcasts. I just downloaded individual episodes.) I can listen to the audio without wifi by going to Music app/program, choosing More, then Podcasts.
But once I'm done listening to them, how do I delete the audio?
NOTE: I do NOT want to connect the iPod to a computer. I want to delete the audio/podcasts directly on the iPod touch.
Thank you.

thanks, lllaass. Swiping solved it. Hope that when I remove the last episode in the podcast, the podcast itself is removed from my list of downloaded podcasts.

How do I delete a podcast episode in itunes 11?

I typically download podcast episodes in iTunes and then sync them with my phone. I listen to the podcasts on my iPhone and then delete them when done. I have been doing this for years. Now, I cannot figure out how to delete the individual episodes from my podcasts in iTunes 11. What am I missing?

You and me both!
I started out with an Apple+ way back when. We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes. My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard. (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
Sigh.
I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY! I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS. BUMMER!
Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts. UCK!

How can I delete the podcasts that I have not downloaded but show up as being in the cloud

How can I delete the podcasts that show up as being in the cloud when viewing them in the List mode? Most of these are past episode that I previously downloaded and then deleted. I know that I can look at my podcasts in Unplayed mode which removes those in the cloud but then I can't sort them first by podcast title and then by episode date the way I can in List mode. This was not a problem before iTunes 11.1 when I could simply delete those in the cloud.

That is discouraging. However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast. This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar). As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself. I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

I purchased tv episodes on apple tv and had to delete the episodes to make room for me to be able to download other stuff. Now I want to watch those episodes I already paid for again. How do I re-download those episodes without being charged again?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Assuming you are in a location that supports re-downloading of TV shows, you can download any purchased TV shows from the purchased option in the quick links section in the top right-hand corner of iTunes on your computer.

The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
.....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup.
Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data.

Can't download podcast episodes over cellular data

I am running the current ios software and have the current Apple Podcast app installed. Since updating to 7.0.4 and installing the current app version, I now am having issues with downloading podcast episodes using cellular data specifically. You try and download an episode and it just freezes and then says "download error, tap to retry". You then get a massive popup saying "unable to download podcast" and underneath this, it says the podcast episode "could not be downloaded at this time". This happens not just with one specific podcast. I have tried everything I can think of and that Apple have suggested. I have:
- Unsubscribed then resubscribed to podcasts I have seen this issue with
- Closed out of the app and gone back in
- Ensured at all times I have been attempting this, that cellular data has been on for podcasts
- Switched cellular data off for podcasts and as a whole then I have switched back on
- Done a hard reset of the phone
- Deleted the Podcast app itself, reinstalled and then tried to download an episode over cellular data
- Reset Network Settings
- Performed a full restore of the device
After doing the restore, I set the phone up as new and then installed just the podcast app and was able to download an episode over cellular data. I then restored my data from backup and then all of a sudden, I had the same issue again. I did another reset of the network settings and then the issue went away. The issue has returned yet again today. I called Apple to advise and they say they will investigate and get back to me.
Has anyone else had this issue and have you managed to find a permanent solution? When I am on wifi, I don't have this issue at all. I attempted to download another app and a song from itunes over 3G and had no issues. As such, I can only conclude there must either be an issue with the app itself or ios7.0.4 has done some damage here. I like to download my podcasts on the train to work so don't always have the ability to download over 3G.
A very annoying issue!

I am having same problem, except mine is a movie rental on 3rd gen ipad wifi. It seems like this problem has been occuring for quite a few years and apple cant be bothered to fix it. It is really annoying because none of the fixes work. My movie is 99% downloaded and i cant play it or delete or retry the download. Its gona be a few months before anyone from apple decides to post to this thread anyway. Its a real shame. In the apple store not one "genius" cud help with this either.

"Error = -39" while trying to download podcast-episodes

It seems that lately, more and more episodes from podcasts that I'm subscribed to won't download, giving an error: "(error = -39)" (or fout = -39, since I'm using the Dutch version of iTunes).
*What does this error mean?*
When I open the feed of such a podcast in notepad and copypaste the link of the episode in question to my browser, the link checks out OK so it must be something else than that.
Offtopic: I got "error = 404" as well on some other (older) episodes but I guess that means an episode is not available any more for downloading..?

The podcasts that you have already downloaded are stored in a separate directory named "Podcasts", separate from the "Podcasts" directory within the "Downloads" directory. so you can delete "downloads/podcasts" without having to worry about the podcasts that have downloaded correctly.

HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
<Email Edited by Host>

To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.

How can i delete processing podcasts?

I've been waiting two weeks for my podcasts to finish processing.How can i delete my podcasts after they start processing?
I really need help! Thx:)

If you have another download that did not complete - Let it finish or try to delete it as well. If its a song, finish the download or the the swipe to delete feature, it its an app try tapping and holding down on it to delete it or tap on the icon to finish the download.
Eiether complete those downloads or try to delete them and then see if you can use the swipe to delete or tap and hold down on the podcast to delete them.
You can also try Settings>General>Music>Podcasts and see if you can delete them in there. Tap the edit button and see if you get the red circle to the left of the podcast.

Suddenly I can't download podcast episodes to iPhone, but they'll still stream

I seem to no longer be able to download podcast episodes on to my iPhone. When I update/refresh podcasts, the little numbers appear over podcasts, indicating there are new episodes: but when I go through to the podcast, I see the little "cloud + arrow" icon (whereas before they'd download automatically). I press on the cloud/arrow icon: it dims briefly, but nothing happens. In the "My Stations" view, there's the command "Download all" at the bottom: if I press that, it dims briefly, but nothing happens.
The episodes still stream fine: if I play them, they'll play, with occasional lags from streaming. But I now seem unable to download them.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Please, please don't tell me this is just Apple's latest move in "improving" Podcasts: I'd be horrified but not entirely shocked if they decided "No, you don't really want to download podcasts - you should just stream them all the time, because that's the right way to do it. And you want to do it the right way, don't you? The Apple way. The only right way."
This appears to have started this morning, and I updated with iOS 7.0.4 last night. Maybe that's a coincidence, or maybe it's connected.
Just when I was reconciling myself to the Podcasts app ...
Thanks in advance!

Well, the tried and true may have worked: I turned the iPhone off and then on again, and now downloads seem to be working properly. On/off button, is there anything you cannot do?

Cannot delete old podcast episodes after updating to ios 8

The usual way of manually deleting old podcast episodes, swiping right to left and then selecting the red delete button, appears to be no longer available. Do I need to fix something or is there a new way of doing this function?

Have you tried swiping left to right?
Try going to Settings>General>Usage>Podcasts and select the the podcast you want to delete and tap edit in in upper left and delete the podcast.
