How to delete a song downloaded to iPhone?

I downloaded a free album some time ago and later was able to delete all the songs but one from my iPhone. They are no longer on my MacBook either. The deleted songs show up only if I turn on "Show All Music' in my iPhone settings. But one track will not delete. I have tried swiping across it to display the delete button; that doesn't work. I tried resyncing my iPhone and unchecking EVERY SONG, playlist and album in iTunes on my MacBook and every other album deletes. But I cannot get this last song to delete. I'd also like to get rid of those previously downloaded, now deleted, albums altogether; I have no use for them. I've thought about resetting my phone to factory settings, but I don't want to lose all my phone contacts. Any ideas?

OK. Please ignore above post. I found a relevant post and got rid of the last song on my iPhone. But I still don't know how to get them to delete from download record, but I can ignore that via settings. Thanks.

  • How to delete paused application download from iphone

    Hi,
    Can anybody please let me know how to delete paused application download from iphone.

    Hello, flowerpet1.  Thank you for your reply.  Interestingly, your instructions worked on my iPad Mini, where I had the same problem.  The update module was listed under "Usage" and I was able to delete it.  Although I still have the red circle with "1" in it over my Settings icon on the home page, the status under Software Update is now "Download and Install" instead of just "Install".  Also, the available storage on the Usage screen has increased by about 4.2 GB.
    On my iPhone 5S, however, I'm not quite sure what the situation is now.  The IOS 8 update module does not show under "Usage".  However, the status under Software Update has also changed to "Download and Install" instead of just "Install"--but without my doing anything to the phone.  Maybe the update file was removed from the phone when I removed it from the iPad.  I don't remember what the available storage was before, so I don't know if I recouped any space.
    Anyway, your reply was a big help.  Thank you very much.

  • How to delete IOS 8 download from iPhone 5S?

    IOS 8 was automatically downloaded to my iPhone 5S.  I didn't realize that was going to happen (I discovered since that I had automatic downloads set to "yes").  I have not installed the download of IOS 8; and I don't want to, at least not yet.  But that install module is taking up several GBs of my memory and I would like to delete it.  However, I can't figure out how to do that.

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Apple - iTunes - Match

    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

  • How to delete a song from iphone using "itunes 12"

    iTunes 12 & iPhone 5s v8.1, iTunes installed on PC with Windows 7
    I need to delete some songs from my iPhone. They are not on any playlist. I see no way to delete them using either iTunes or the iPhone.
    How do I delete songs from my iPhone using the iPhone OR iTunes?

    I also have this question as well. I've done everything from turning off the "show all music" to turning off icloud. After hours of frustration, I decided to delete all music and just re-download the songs i actually want on my phone. Apple makes everything so much more difficult than it has to be. Next time, I'll try the "throw phone at wall" method.

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • How to delete streamed songs in iPhone?

    I listen to songs via streaming from iCloud.
    When flying I want to listen to records I choose to have with me.
    When i turn of "show all music" in Music preferences to find my manually loaded records, following happens:
    There are so many songs left from streaming, that I can't find my records without searching.
    - To delete a record I loaded manually is easy.
    - But how to delete the songs loaded by streaming?
    I have tried to "delete all music" in preferences for iCloud storage - it deletes manually loaded records but not the steaming loaded songs.

  • When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

    When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

    Here's what I did:
    1. I synced my phone to iTunes and under the music tab, I selected sync only checked playlists. I made sure I had none of my playlists selected.
    2. After syncing I ejected the phone, and checked my music app. There now was no music at all on my phone.
    3. Synced it again to iTunes and synced music how I typically do. When it was finished, I checked for the unwanted song, and it was gone.
    Maybe this will work for you as well.

  • How to delete a song in iphone

    How do I delete a song from my iphone and itunes, I just delete one, in itunes but it keep appearing , in my iphone and itunes,,,,

    I thought if you delete in itunes, and you have them set to sync, it should remove the iphone version as well. Not sure if it's the same if you manually manage music.  I think then you have to plug your phone into itunes, then click the phone tab and delete the song as well.

  • How can I delete a song from my iPhone?

    I am trying to delete a song from my iPhone music library.I delete it and then I eject my iPhone.When i reconnect it,the song is there again.

    In the Settings of Music there's an option called "Show all Music" if I'm right.
    Disable it then see if it helps.
    The real problem of this iOS 7 update is that you can't delete a whole artist like you could in the iOS 6.
    Apple will have to suggest a solution and quick because it is not comfortable at all.
