How do I delete these songs off of my iPhone?

Why can't I delete these songs? They appeared on my phone, but I didn't download them off of iTunes (recently, like these are from 4 years ago) and when I delete them they just reappear.
Please refer to screenshot!
Thank you!

Hi cwright41!
While your screenshot did not come through into this post, I have an article that may be able to help you with any songs you are not able to delete on your iPhone:
iTunes Match - iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

I just upgraded to the 5S now I have random music on my phone, some stuff I've never head of, some stuff that is on my computer but I don't have it selected to sync onto my phone. How do I delete these songs? I haven't hooked it up to my computer. iTunes matches has never been turned on and I did turn off the Show all Music option. Some songs have the option to slide from right to left to bring up the delete button but not the ones I want to delete! I want them gone please help! I really don't want/need carni music from my daughters 4th bday party on my phone!! If anyone has a solution that does not involve me plugging into my computer that'd be awesome....

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer? Thank you!

If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How do I delete these songs that came in my music on iPhone 5s?

I want to delete these songs that came pre-loaded on my iphone and I can't seem to do it the same way I did on my 3Gs. Also I can't seem to get all my music to load on my new iPhone either.

Hi Blair,
I had to do a few extra steps. First I had to go to settings and turn on show all, then back to music and saw a cloud by the one song that was showing up again and again. Then, I downloaded it to the phone (it's a new phone that I just purchased and used my backup to load onto it so maybe that is why I had to do that). Then, I went back into setting and went to the music section and turned off the show all music section again. After that, back to the music app, found the song, swiped it (think it was to the left) and voila, DELETE!
It was soooo annoying having that song play every time I plugged my phone into my car automatically. So glad it's over!

How can I delete individual songs off of my ipod shuffle with this new itunes?

We used to be able to delete individual songs off of the ipod shuffle and now that itunes changed we can't figure out how to do that.

Hello ArmyWife8610,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. I found an article with some steps to delete photo albums off of an iPhone. The way you delete the photos will depend on whether they were taken with the iPhone (on the Camera Roll) or if you synced the albums:
To delete photos and videos from your device
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
or
Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.

HT204074 How do you delete a song off your ipad that is not listed on the itunes song list?

Some songs came already loaded with my new ipad air that I hate and want to delete but can't locate the directory where they reside. I downloaded a file manager app but it only had the option to add new folders, not access the one's already on the ipad. I signed up for icloud and even bought itunes match at the direction of a blog someone wrote as a way to access the icloud song list and delete the songs. I deleted the album purchase (that I never made in the first place) listed in the purchase section of iTunes. The songs are not listed on my PC version of itunes so I can't delete them from there (right click and choose delete). They are only on the ipad itself. Why is it so difficult to simply remove a file from your ipad? Is there a way to delete these songs or am I stuck with them on my ipad music list? I reset the entire setup thinking it would erase everything on my ipad but that didn't work either. Please advise. Thanks.

Does it play on the iPad?
What happens when you swipe it left and fight? You should get a Delete or Remove button. If Remove then there will be a cloud icon by the song after you remove the sound file from the iPod.
If it is U2 album then:
Remove U2 Album

I tried deleting a bunch of songs from iTunes after downloading the newest version. After deleting them they're 'hidden' on iCloud and still show up on my phone which I do not want these at all the begin. So how do I delete these songs?

I have read a little and something about iTunes Match... I'm not about to spend $24.99 just to delete some songs off of the cloud.

Go to Settings > Music and make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then only actually downloaded music will be displayed. With it on, you can see all your music stored in the Cloud as well. That music will always be in the Cloud (until such time as you download it) but it isn't present on your device.

Hello BDCrowd,
It sounds like you are wanting to delete these audio books from the iPhone. I recommend going here in your settings:
Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
From: iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

Then tap Music, and swipe left on AudioBooks and choose Delete when it appears to delete them all in one swipe.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why can't I delete my songs off of my iPhone from iTunes?

I want to delete a bunch of songs off of my iPhone but it won't let me delete them from Itunes. I know that I can delete them from my phone but when I search them I can't delete them like that; I have to go through roughly 700 songs to look for the 20 or so that I want to actually delete. Why can I delete them from the "Music" list in iTunes but not from "Music" list from my device? I still want them in iTunes, just not on my phone. Help me please!!

I completely agree and am seriously getting off the Apple Mothership. I've been a loyal fan of mac products but recent updates seem to reduce user functionality.
I also have a Iphone 4 and unable to remove songs from Itunes or my phone. Since updating to the Lion (which was a total mistake) my Macbook Pro (only a few years old) runs slow and hot. My phone, wihich was rather reliable freezes.
Mac products used to reign superior to Windows but it's no longer the case.

How can I delete a song off of my itunes and iphone without it re-syncing?

I have accidentally bought a song off of iTunes that is a fake. It was a total scam, but that is not my problem. I am having trouble deleting it off of my iTunes on the computer and my iPhone. When I delete it in the music folder on my PC, and in the purchased on the computer, it just redownloads every time I plug my iPhone in. I have deleted the song many times off of each device, but it appears every time when I sync them up. Any help on how to delete this?

Why can't i delete some songs off my 4s Iphone with iso7

I want to detele some songs off my phone but i have tried the tap songs, and then swip and then press delete - as sugguested in the manual

These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

HT201269 How do i delete photo albums off of my iphone?

I accidentally added over 7,000 photos onto my phone that i had uploaded to iphoto but obviously i don't need. How do i delete them? I can't do it on my phone or itunes

It would have to be done via iTunes. These are photos that have been synced over from iTunes. Connect the iPhone to iTunes, select the phone, go to the Photos tab and remove the checkmarks by the folders that have synced.
