How do I delete hidden podcasts?

My 5th gen iPod lists podcasts that don't appear when it is connected to iTunes. How can I delete them when they don't show in iTunes?

My final idea is to locate the media folder.
look in preferences - advanced to find out where it is
go to the the podcast foldert
and make any changes you want to
I would do a full back up of your ipod first.
Failing that restore your ipod.
Hope this helps as i am out of ideas.

  • How do I delete hidden podcast files?

    I have some video podcast episodes which -- according to the "Device" tab on iTunes -- are still on my iPod Touch taking up space but which are not visible. So no, I can't "swipe-right-then-press-delete", iTunes doesn't let me delete the files directly from the iPod, and turning off syncing the podcast simply made ALL the files invisible to the iPod user interface.
    It's an iPod Touch 4 with iOS 5.1.1, and I'm using iTunes 10 on a Mac.

    I am having the exact same problem!
    I made a Smart Playlist for my podcasts so I could "see" them all at once, in one master list. And after listening through them, I gave the ones I didn't want to keep a "1-Star" rating. Then, I went into the podcast master directory and deleted those podcasts. But they're all still in my Smart Playlist. And they actually play, so they're not "phantom" files...
    This is really frustrating. Any ideas?

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How do I delete a podcast icon from my iphone?

    I'm somewhat Mac and iphone saavy and have looked all over the Net and these forums for an answer.  No dice! Let's see what you guys got:  I have deleted some podcasts from iTunes that I don't want to see anymore and the icon has stayed on my iphone. They don't show up anywhere in iTunes, but insist on hanging around in the podcast list on my phone. How do I get rid of these???  There is no swipe ability since there are no podcast recordings, just the icons.

    Open your podcast app and swipe down on the screen, it will expose the search box and the edit button.

    image-3750165159.jpgTap the edit button and an x appears at the upper left of each podcast icon. Tap the x, and the podcast disappears.
    image-2045823971.jpgI tapped the X on the right hand podcast and it's now gone.
    When you're finished editing, tap the done button.

  • HT203128 How do i delete songs/podcasts off my ipod in itunes 12.1

    Since the upgrade, I cannot see how I can delete songs or podcasts off my ipod.  I will run out of memory very quickly.  If I put in delete songs into Help it says select and press backspace.  This does not work.

    Thank you very much for your help.  Actually, I just found another solution.  I checked the box at the bottom of the Summary page which says Manually manage music and videos.  I then clicked Apply and after that, I was able to delete content.
    Why are neither of these solutions available when you query Help?
    Perhaps one of the highly paid help in Apple could tell me (and all the others who have commented) what benefits we are getting from the upgrade to 12.1.  It just seems to have made it less user friendly and more difficult to use.

  • Itunes latest revision how do I delete old podcasts?

    Used to select items, right click mouse, select delete, and done. Now, right click mouse, no delete choice, what's up?

    Hi Tim4909!
    You should follow the instructions linked below for deleting music in iTunes to delete the podcasts you no longer want:
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.

  • How do I delete hidden breakpoints?

    Hi,
    XCode is being really annoying with a hidden breakpoint.  It added a breakpoint in a weird spot, and it's a spot that gets hit constantly, so I'm constantly having to restart the program.  I can see the breakpoint in the breakpoint navigator, how do I delete it?  There is a delete option in the ctrl+click menu, but it doesn't do anything, how do I make it functional?

    Try to remove the Breakpoints file from your project. You'll be able to find it inside your xcodeproj file:
    your_project_name.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/your_username.xcuserdatad/xcdebugger/
    Breakpoints.xcbkptlist

  • How do I delete "Hidden" purchases ?

    I found a section in the "My Account" part of the App Store.
    It listed 9 "Hidden" purchases.
    How do I delete these ?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is never going to happen. You cannot erase the fact that you have purchased an app. If you look in the iTunes app on your computer you will see that in your account there is a record/history of your purchases back to your original content purchase from both the iTunes and Mac App Stores.

  • How do I delete some podcast and TV shows from my ipod?

    Im having trouble freeing up some space on my ipod so that I can download more TV shows on it. How do I delete the old stuff?

    I use automatic sync, but only checked songs/podcasts. When I had a Classic 160, I synced everything, because I had the space. Either way, my podcasts would be removed from the iPod after I had listened to them, but I don't know if TV shows do that too. If not, you can always uncheck them in iTunes after you are done, and they will be off the iPod, but still in iTunes. You can also manually sync. Instructions for both are in the manual, which you can download here.
    By the way, I haven't used my Nano 6th gen for TV, but I've heard it doesn't support video. I know that my video podcasts don't work. Are you using an older Nano?

  • 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 songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
    First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
         I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
          I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
    Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
    Thankyou for your time.

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
