How do i delete songs stuck on my iphone5?

so after ios7 update, somewhere apple decided to reload these songs i deleted ages ago, and now they're stuck in my iphone 5 and i don't see any means of deleting them again (is it REALLY asking too much to just give us a similar tab to remove individual songs just like we can remove individual contacts?).
No, they are NOT listed in my itunes library that i sync to on my laptop, and syncing does NOT get rid of them. Even when i tried unchecking the music sync, i still end up left with those 4 annoying songs still on the iphone.
Any suggestions?

Resolved.
None of the steps mentioned or earlier versions worked.
Reset everything from factory defaults.

    Hello audreywisc,
    Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

    With an earlier iOS (iOS 4 and below) you have to unsync them.

  • How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?

    How can you delete songs off the ipod without deleting songs off your itunes library?  My son's ipod automatically synced all the songs in my library to his ipod which he now wants to get rid of.  Is there a way to delete them all without me having to erase my library?

    Do not select the songs to sync, then sync.

  • 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.

  • Using iTunes 11 how do i delete songs from my "manually managed" iPad.

    Using iTunes 11 how do i delete songs from my "manually managed" iPad. (iPad gen 1)
    On the old itunes i could simply highlight the songs on my music folder under my iPad connected and remove the ones i no longer wanted. With iTunes 11 when im looking through what is on my iPad i want to delete some songs or movies and it doesnt work. I can do it on the iPad itself. But theres hundreds i want to delete and this would take hours. Has anybody else had this problem?

    With iTunes 11, if you haven't already done so then you should be able to enable the left-hand sidebar option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, and the way that you delete songs should then be the same as how you used to do it e.g. select the Music section under the iPad 'device' on that left-hand sidebar and select and delete the songs that you don't want on the iPad anymore on the right-hand side of iTunes
