Deleting downloads from music but not from library (October 2024)

Before the last update (Sept 2024) downloaded playlists could be downloaded or deleted from the device going to Music > Downloads > There was an arrow symbol to download and an option to just delete these downloads.


But that option is gone and I cannot find a way to delete a playlist at once without deleting it from the library of going song by song.


Any tips?

To answer myself, for future reference.


To delete all the downloads from a playlist without erasing the playlist from the library.


  1. Touch and hold a song or album, or in this case the playlist cover (in the screen with all the playlists, not entering into it)
  2. Tap Remove, then tap Remove Download. Or tap Delete from Library. Remove Download


Which makes it more complicated. If there’s a song of the playlist you have not downloaded > you have to download it first to be able to download all of the playlist at once.
