How do i permanently delete a song in my itunes library

how can I permanently delete a song from itunes

If you are wanting to delete a song from iTunes 11.0.1 you can select the song or album (or selected different songs by holding "down command"), once you have selected those songs. Hold down the "option/alt" + "command"  keys and then right click on the hightlighted song/s or album and go to "delete".
NB The delete option wil not appear when you normally right click on a song/file. But if you hold down "option/alt" + "command" the "delete" selection will appear.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match?

    How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match? iTunes is automatically syncing songs I purchased years ago to my iPhone without me asking it to. I have not and am not going to pay for Match. I want to get of of these songs for good. I do not care about removing them from my history which is impossible, I just want to delete songs so they are not in my library and do not sync to my phone since I never wanted them there.

    Hey Dodge50,
    Great question! You can choose to sync your entire library, or selected playlists and other items. For more information, check out this resource:

    You can also opt to manually manage the content that is on your device. For more information about this option, see the following:

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:

    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

    How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • How do you permanently delete a TVshow from my itunes.

    I downloaded a free preview of a TVShow watched it and then deleted it, now everytime I launch iTunes it starts downloaded that same show.
    I have deleted it from the downloaded list and tried to delete it from the list of TVShow, while it appears to be deleted, everytime I launch iTune or synch my iPhone the show starts downloaded again, and it takes about 20 mins and slows down the synch process.
    How can I permanently delete items from my iTunes and prevent them from continuous downloading?

    I suspect one is the HD version and one is the standard version, both of which are often available to download again as a previous purchase from the iTunes store when you purchase a movie.  They aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and therefore don't use any of your storage.  The cloud symbols are just links to your previous purchases in the iTunes store.  They can't be deleted but if you don't want to see one of them, you can hide it in iTunes on your computer and it shouldn't be visible on your iPad any longer (see iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases).

  • Is there a way to PERMANENTLY DELETE purchased songs from your iTunes/iTunes account

    Hi
    I have 11 purchased songs in my iTunes library. Since iOS7 i have not been able to remove these songs from my 3rd party music player.
    I would like to permanently remove these songs from my iTunes account, my iTunes, my iPhone. I don't want to see these songs appear on any of my devices ever again.
    Is there a way to remove these purchases permanently so they are no longer available/associated with my account?
    Please! Any help is appreciated, this is seriously annoying.

    Turning off iCloud will not accomplish anything, unless you simply wish to sign out your AppleID for itunes adn app store. Then of course, you would not be able to purchase apps or other content.
    Any itunes or App store purchases can be set to hidden, as ckuan instructs. These would not show up on your device. But no, there is not way to completely delete content purchases.
    You can offer Apple feedback here, if you wish: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How do I permanently delete a song?

    I have songs that were purchased several years ago. I now want to delete them permanently from itunes and icloud. Eveytime I try to delete the song, it asks if I want to hide them in icloud. No option to permanently delete.

    Previously purchased songs cannot be deleted.  They are permanently on your purchased list.  All you can do is hide them on your iTunes purchased list (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919), and in your iTunes Match library.  You could try contacting iTunes store support, but I'm not sure they can do anyting about this.  You can contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • How can I delete a song from my itunes library which I downloaded to my Ipad device?

    I accidentally downloaded a song to the Ipad device from the cloud (from my Itunes library).  Can I delete this one song?

    I do have a very a very same question:
    I attach my iPad to my computer and open iTunes. Then I click on "iPad" (right upper corner).
    When I click on Music on the top line I don't see my music titles but only the list of iTunes albums I may want to synchronize.
    When I click on "On this iPad", I'm getting all music titles on the iPad. When I right-click on an item I'm getting "Play this music / Information / Wertung / show in iTunes store / show in playlist" (or so. I'm using a German version of iTunes). However nowhere do I get the option of Delete this music title. Please, how can I delete titles or albums from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

  • How can i sync my phone songs to the itunes library?

    my old desktop is gone and i bought a new laptop, how can i synchronise my phone songs , photos , videos and contacts to my itunes? now my current itunes is empty and all my data is in my iphone.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How do I permanently delete a partial download from itunes?

    I have 2 tv shows that were taking too long to download so I stopped them and deleted them.  But they keep coming back.  Any ideas on how to get rid of them completely?  Thanks in advance!

    You cannot remove items from the queue yourself other than by letting the download complete. If you don't want to do this then contact support and ask them to remove the items for you. You should still be able to download them from your purchase history at a later date.

  • How can I transfer my NANO songs to the iTunes library?

    Could anybody please sum up the question?

    That's typically not a good idea. iTunes is normally set as the repository of songs for the iPod, unless you have limited disk space, I wouldn't delete them from iTunes. If you do, you might want to invest in an external hard drive and store you iTunes music there.
