How do I remove songs from my iPhone?

I have read everything I can find on line, none of them work,  The songs are not checked or selected to sync and they are not in a playlist or genre that syncs.  I have even tried deleting them from my iTunes library, but they are still in the cloud and still appear on my phone.  Can anybody help me?

MY point is there is a much simpler way of explaining and doing this.
Which I did, and you're welcome.
As I stated earlier, this depends on if you are SYNCING music with Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, or if you are MANUALLY managing music with Manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Like I stated earlier, I originally followed the directions above it it didn't work. AND I wasn't manually doing it. I was doing your SYNCING.
More than likely due to PEBKAC.
I ended up having to do it manually because the directions above were not correct.
You can do one or the other with an iPhone, not both at the same time, and when switching from one to the other all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased first.
I in no way, shape or form said this is the case with everybody.
Which is why I provided the correct and CLEAR answer. This depends on which option you have chosen - your MANUALLY manage music and videos, or syncing. As I stated previously.
It is very much true if you are SYNCING music with Sync Music selected under the Music two for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you are manually managing music and video with your iPhone with this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can manually delete music from your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list.

  • 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!

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    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.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    How do I delete songs from my iphone that are not on my itunes account?

    You mean music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, that means the music was transferred from your iTunes library on computer via the iTunes sync process - unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Music transferred from your computer can be removed the same way - via the iTunes sync process or you should be able to delete individual songs direct from the iPhone.

  • How do you delete songs from an iphone?

    How do you delete songs from an iphone 4?  Some how an album that I bought on itunes doubled the songs on my phone.

    You can do this with iOS5 phones.
    scroll to any song on the list you wish to delete
    Swipe left or right with 1 finger
    a "Delete" button in red will appear
    Same with hiding purchases in your app store app, flick left or right to and tap hide to remove it from the list
    Does it work?

    You don't. Sync via iTunes to PC/Mac, then to other device.
    Otherwise people could "share" all their purchased music.

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.
