How do I delete songs completely off of my phone?

I delete the songs on my phone but there is a cloud thingy by them, and my phone still plays them. How do I get rid of the songs completely?

You can go to settings>music and disable show all music. See if this removes the songs from your music library

You can swipe across a song in the songs tab of the music app and a red delete button will pop up. You can hold down on an album icon and the X to delete will appear on the icon.

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.

How do I delete songs permanently off of my iPhone 4s

I have been at this for hours. I have tried every solution I could find on and off of this Apple site. I have gone into the settings and made sure everything was turned off in the iTunes & App Store. I have turned off the iCloud and turned it back on and off again. I have deleted the songs in iTunes and synced a million times. I have clicked to manage music and videos manually. I have unchecked and right mouse clicked and hit delete. I have swiped on the phone and deleted and every single song is STILL on my phone with a cloud symbol next to it. When I go to play the song, just to see what happens? A totally different song plays. So I deleted EVERY song and they are still on there. The actual songs are all grey on my iTunes under my phone, but still show up.
I am in disbelief that Apple has not done anything about whatever "glitch" is making this happen. I obviously have paid too much for this piece of crap phone and have relied entirely too much on Apple to actually assist with this. To have to spend hours of my day trying to figure out stuff on my phone and not be able to contact Apple because my year is up definitely will make me go back to a Droid when my contract is up.
This isn't worth it.

Try swiping to the left instead. Works for me. In the music app I can delete songs by swiping to the left, but I cannot delete an album in the same manner

How do I get songs completely off of my iPhone without deleting them completely?

Before iTunes updated to iOS7, I was able to have selected songs on my iPhone and only those would appear. But now every song on my iTunes is on my phone.

You go to Settings, scroll down, till you see Facebook. You can switch the contacts off. You won't see your facebook-friends in your contactlist anymore :)

How can I delete songs/recordings off ITunes?

For some reason, when I open audio recordings, it automatically opens in ITunes. As a result, I have a huge ls of audio interviews in my Itunes play list which I'd like to get rid of. The problem is, when I try to delete it, it is greyed out in the options. Anyway to deletes items from your play list?

If iTunes is connected to files outside the designated iTunes Media folder then it won't offer to delete them when the tracks are removed from the library. See KillSelectedFiles for a tool that can do this.
Alternatively you could consolidate your library so that all tracks are inside the media folder, but the downside with that is that you then have to hunt down the originals to delete. Or, instead of using iTunes own consolidate command, you could use my script ConsolidateByMoving.

On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

i think i stumbled onto a solution.
the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
(free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
they were purchases which i'd hidden.
i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
all "show all" options for music and video were off.
itunes match was off.
all automatic downloads were off.
"show all music" was off.
i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
i've logged back in and they're still gone.
i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
HOWEVER.....
Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

Whilst downloading a movie, my iPhone ran out of charge. Since recharging the "processing" bar has frozen. How can I delete or complete the download?

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.
