As a music enthusiast, you might always be on the lookout for the latest music releases. Just like you, I have been listening to music on Spotify for a while, and my taste in music is constantly evolving.
So, what do you do when you feel a certain song doesn’t serve a purpose in your playlist anymore? Well, remove it. But how? That’s what I will teach you in this guide. Follow along to create a playlist that soothes you when you need it!
Removing a Song from a Spotify Playlist on Mobile
Keeping the music playlists organised is one of the key parameters to enjoy it. You don’t need to block a song, instead, you can declutter it so that you can listen only when you wish to.
- Open the Spotify app and go to “Your Library” on the bottom panel.
- Tap the “Playlist” icon on top.
- Tap the playlist which has the song you want to delete.
- Click on the “ellipsis” (three vertical dots) next to the song you want to delete.
- Tap on “Remove from this playlist”.
If you want to remove multiple songs at once, you can select them by tapping on three dots and then “Select”. Then click on the 3 dots again and choose “Remove from Library”.
Deleting a Song from Spotify Playlist on Desktop
Yes, you can also take songs away from your Spotify playlist on a desktop too. It’s essentially the same as above with a slight change in UI because of a bigger screen space. Here’s how to go about it:
- Open the Spotify app or website on your desktop.
- Navigate to the playlist that appears on the left.
- Select the playlist with the song you wish to remove.
- Tap the three horizontal dots next to the song to open a drop-down menu.
- Click “Remove from this playlist” and the song gets immediately removed.
To remove multiple songs on a desktop, hold the “Ctrl” or “Command” key and select all the songs you wish to remove. Once the selection is done, choose “Remove from this Playlist”.
This not only saves time but also organizes your playlist to your tastes.

- Tap the “Playlists” icon on the top to open a pop-up of all the playlists.
