How do I remove songs/albums I downloaded after switching iTM back on?

I recently went abroad for 4 weeks.
Since roaming data costs a fortune, before leaving I disabled iTM and downloaded a pile of music onto the phone via iTunes to listen to whilst travelling.
I am now home and have re-enabled iTM on the phone (an iPhone 5) and I want to reclaim the space presently occupied by the music I downloaded as I do not need it to be there now.
I cannot for the life of me work out how. I just assumed it would vanish after I switched iTM back on but nope.
I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 and the latest iOS version.
Can anyone help?

You're welcome.
It is a bit of a pain. Reports are that in iOS 6.1 the process will improve and we'll be able to delete downloaded music from right in the Music app again.

2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone. I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off. How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library.

What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

How do I remove songs from my device and leave it in iCloud?

I set up iCloud match on my PC and iPhone 4s. How do I remove songs on my phone to buy more space for other things? Also, I understand that my iTunes library is matched with better quality versions in the cloud. How can I replace poor quality songs with these better ones?

Also, I understand that my iTunes library is matched with better quality versions in the cloud.
That is not quite true. When iTunes Match is able to match a song, it matches it to the version sold in the iTunes Store, which is in AAC/256 format. That may be better or worse than what you already have.
How can I replace poor quality songs with these better ones?
If you wish to replace your current version with the matched version, just delete the current one from your iTunes library and download the matched copy.

How do it remove songs from iphone after I downloaded via iMatch?

I am using iMatch. How do I removed some of the songs to free up the sapces of my iPhone after I downloaded from the cloud?

if next to the song appears a cloud, then this song is not downloaded on your device (it's not taking any space). On the other hand, if you have downloaded the song, you just need to delete it as the other songs, by swiping from right to left

How to remove songs/albums from Iphone 5 S and itunes library inorder to add new songs

I have an Iphone 5, 7.1.2 model. I have been attempting to add new songs onto my phone but do not have any available space. Although I have deleted and removed apps and other space eating products from my phone, I still do not have enough space to add the new songs that I would like to include on my phone. The final option would be for me to remove some songs from my phone that I no longer listen to. Problem is, I can't seem to find a way or any direction on just how to do that. Wonder if anyone has successfully removed songs from their phone and/or library as a way to free up space to replace them with new songs?

How do you remove songs from icloud so space not taken on devise?

I downloaded my current purchases and previous purchases into my icloud on my ipad . I did not know it would take up the space on the ipad. But, I cannot figure out how to edit these songs in icloud so that All the purchases are not there. How do I go back to fix and specify what songs should be downloaded to limit space? I don't see the benefit of doing this, when i could have kept my "purchase playlist" to sync anyway.

That worked thanks! I also discovered that you can hold the album cover art down(like when you want to delete an app) and an "x" pops up to delete the entire album or artists. That makes it easy to get rid of my wifes Pop music. Thanks again.

How do I remove songs that are only in iCloud?

Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong category.
I realize there are going to be tons of questions since iOS 7 just came out, but I have a question about iCloud.
So now that I have the new iOS, the music library on my iPhone displays my iCloud music as well as what I had synched to the phone. However, there are some songs showing up that I deleted from my iTunes library on my computer months ago. They are not on my computer, so I cannot delete them from iCloud as I delete them from my computer. There are a few songs that I will keep on the Cloud, but I don't want them all.
How would I remove these songs that can only be found in my Cloud? I don't some of them anywhere, at all. I'm not paying for iTunes match.
Thanks in advance!

Hey, Gail,
Sync didn't work last night even with the new version of iTunes. I think I solved it though.
Went to Settings > General > Usage > Music: Deleted all data that way
Then turned on the "Show all music" option in the Music settings. Went to music and downloaded from the iTunes cloud the music I wanted on my phone. With that done, I shut off the "Show all music" option again. This left just the songs that I had downloaded.
I'm sure I could probably accomplish this similarly by dragging and dropping to my phone from iTunes. I'll have to give this a shot. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work. But I've found a way that does.
So far, those songs I didn't want haven't shown back up. Whether this is a permanent fix, I haven't had time to see yet. But it's worked at this juncture.
Thanks for checking in,
Ryan
