I cant delete songs from my iPhone

I have songs on my iPhone that I cant delete. I have tried unchecking them everywhere in my library, checking the Sync only checked songs, etc, I've tried to delete them by hand on my phone. Its as if they are a corrupted version of the song and stuck in my phone. Ive downloaded my music a dozen times trying to get these songs off and they always are there. They arent even whole albums, just one or two songs form an album. Ive checked the manually manage music button, Ive searched for duplicates in my library and Ive run out of ideas.
What is the problem here?

Thank you for the suggestions. In response to the playlist possibility, I don't have a playlist made. I intentionally deleted it thinking that might be the problem.
As far as swiping the songs to delete them, I was able to delete the majority of the ones I didn't want by doing this. But these particular ones will not delete by swiping to the left. If I try that they will begin to play.

  • I cant delete music from my iphone since downloading iOS 7 i have tried synching it and making sure that i only download checked songs bt still wont get rid of them..can anyone help?

    After downloading ios7 i cant delete msuic from my iphone can anyone help?

    Hello Amanda,
    I wonder if you are seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.  The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can hide these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
    iPhone User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.               
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone.  You can find more information about hiding purchases here:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    If the songs do not display a cloud icon next to them, try deleting them directly from the iPhone using these steps:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.

  • How do I delete songs from the iPhone??

    hey guys, I read that in order to delete songs from the iPhone you need to remove the songs from iTunes then re-sync it. I did that but the songs are still in the iPhone and are no longer on iTunes. Songs are all greyed out in iPhone. Please help, thanks.

    Petezta,
    Select the option to "Sync only checkmarked items", and then uncheck them in iTunes.
    Alternatively you can specify specific playlists to sync to the iPhone, and have the items you want to sync in those playlists.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • I can't delete songs from my iphone 6 plus

    Why can't I delete songs from my IPhone 6 plus?

    Hi theresafromwheeling,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you wish to delete songs from your iPhone 6 Plus. Are you trying to do so via syncing with iTunes, or on your iPhone itself? If it is the latter, it may be as simple as swiping left on a song in the list view:
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.
    via http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    However, if you have your settings configured to show your iTunes purchases that are not currently downloaded, the song may still appear with a cloud symbol. You can adjust your settings if you wish to hide purchases that have not been downloaded:
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.

  • 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.

  • Deleting songs from my iPhone

    Hi, so I have a bit of a complicated scenario that I hope someone can help me with.
    I have 8GB iPhone and a 60GB iPod. Both are sharing the same music library.
    My iPod synchronizes all songs in my library (about 30gb). But I only want to have a small subset of the songs stored on my iPhone at any given time.
    I had hoped to do this by only synchronizing selected playlists to the iPhone so that as songs are added or deleted from the playlist they would get deleted from the iPhone as weill.
    But once I have uploaded the songs from Playlist A to the iPhone and then change some of the songs in that playlist I have discovered that the new songs are added to the iPhone.. but the removed songs are not deleted.
    I really do not want to remove the songs from my iTunes library as that will cause the songs to be deleted from my iPod as well.
    Is there anyway to delete songs from the iPhone without deleting from the music library?
    Thanks
    Mark

    I sync by playlist and the playlist in my iphone matches the playlist in my itunes. If I delete a song from the playlist in itunes, the next time I sync the song gone from iphone as well.

  • 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?

  • If I delete songs from my Iphone 5 (manually) will that automatically free up memory?

  • Automatically delete songs from my iPhone after I get done listening to it.

    I have about 30 gigs of mp3's loaded on to my iPhone 3GS. I have some smart playlists (like all songs by a particular artist) and I have synced these playlists on to my iPhone.
    This is a subset of my music, and I intend to load the others after I get done listening to these.
    I could listen to these through the playlists in order, or shuffle them. In any case, I would like the iPhone's iPod and/or iTunes to remove the song from my iPhone as I get done listening to it. This way, the # of songs on my iPod will gradually dwindle and eventually I'll upload another set on to it. I will also avoid listening to one song many times.
    How do I do this?
    Can I keep track of which songs have been played and delete them off my iPhone manually? It will be a pain to have to do this manually..

    I have some smart playlists that I use to fill my ipod with new music.
    Such as,
    Last Played is not in the past 15 days
    Limit to 600MB selected by most recently added
    Live Updating is checked in all of these playlists.
    There are a lot of options in smart playlist criteria to help you do what you want.

  • How can I delete songs from my Iphone music

    How can I delete songs from my music in my Iphone 4

    If you have updated to iOS 7, then you can swipe from from right to left on the song that you want to remove and click the red "delete" button.
    Alternatively, you can select the "Playlists" tab at the bottom of the music app > then select the playlist that contains the song that you want to delete > Click the edit button > Press the red circle with the dash through it next to the song that you want to delete.
    Let me know what iOS version you have if you have not already downloaded iOS 7.
    Hope that helps
