Q: Unable to delete songs in iCloud
I have been trying several times for now to delete all my iCloud songs which were synched/ uploaded via iTunes Match, but they are not deleted from iCloud and always appear again.
I followed these steps
1) Mark all the songs I want to delete in the iTunes --> Music folder
2) Delete them ("Delete") and also checked also "Delete from iCloud" (as also being described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915)
3) After that, first there can not be seen the deleted songs in the Music folder, which is OK.
But then, when I try to reactivate iTunes Match, all the deleted songs are being provided again in iCloud and iTunes Match tells me "XXX songs are available in your iCloud". Then after another minute they all appear again in the Music Folder. This time with the iCloud download icon because I deleted them on my local Mac.
I tried to delete them again and again but always iTunes Match provides me all the songs again and again, which is really confusing :-((
I also tried to log off from the iTunes store after step 2 und logged in again since this was published in another thread to solve the problem. but ..... no change at all. No song was really deleted from the iCloud.
Please, does anybody have a solution to this big bug? I searched a lot but found no discussion or threat dealing with this problem.
Thank you
