Q: How do you delete a radio station from Apple Music?

Launch the Music app, tap Edit then tap the red minus icon then tap Delete.

I chatted with an online Apple rep about this issue today. I want to delete the stations I don't need (that Apple has created) along with a couple of mine that are just taking up space on my iPhone screen. I was told that there is NO WAY to do this. Has anyone else found this to be true? Apparently, you can't delete stations that they've curated nor ones that you've custom created. This is incredibly lame, IMHO. I will never subscribe to Apple Music if you can't completely customize the experience. I'd rather stick with Spotify and Pandora. Apple wake up on this one. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Allow people to delete their unwanted stations. Jeez.

Apple Music maintains a history of Radio stations you have listened to whether they are the pre-created feature stations or any custom stations you create. As you listen to new stations the older ones will disappear from view. The items on the Radio tab don't take up any room as they are just links to playlists. If  don't like some of the available stations just don't listen to them.

Within the My Music and Playlist sections you have full control of what gets saved there and can delete stuff you don't want.

The real question should be just why does Apple have BOTH Radio and Music.  I can't figure that out.  And they really need to do a better job of explaining this difference to people.  Much less explain what Beats Music is doing in there.  What I did was to just turn off Apple Radio.  Period.  Wait a while and turn it back on or use a different approach for "radio" style music.  And be careful with adding new stations.  I just do not get it either why Apple seems to add stations that I never listen to either.  I am very afraid of their interface between Apple Music and MY Music/Playlists and have to see how that plays out.  But if Apple gives me control I will use Apple Music rather than Apple Radio or Beats.  The cost per month for unlimited downloads is really excellent.  $9.99 a month rather than $1.29/song.  

You really can't tell the difference between playing music and listening to radio stations? And you don't see a difference between how radio stations work vs. how Beats1 works?

Wow! You're jesting, right?

My problem with this feature Relates to Siri. When I ask Siri to "play some music",  she automatically plays the same lame early 2000's synth-pop radio station that I've been trying to delete for the past few months.    this totally messes with my user experience with the product.  I'm not trying to be difficult. I just want to find a way to fix it so that Siri play something else besides music that I'm trying to forget for my college years.

Dear Apple - what happened to the planning phase of your product development? What kind of QA engineers are you working with now? because this little detail totally messes with my iPhone user experience.  

Please to fix this. I really dislike listening to crappy music as a get dressed for work.        

Thank you for posting this! I was just about to update to 9.0 until I read you can no longer delete recently played radio stations that you create yourself. I just updated iTunes to the latest and ran into the problem you're referring to. Luckily you CAN delete these unwanted lists in ios8 and I just did!

I agree, the homepage for Apple Music is cluttered with pre selected stations like Country, POP or Mix tape that I personally have no interest in now or ever.

I think the user experience needs to be cleaner and determined by the me/you the $ubscriber not Apple or Beats!

It took me a while to get used to but picture it like the radio in your car. You tune in to a station and listen and if you change stations that older station is still there and you can go back to it if you want to. If you turn off your car while tuned in to a station, when you turn your car back on that station is still tuned in. There is really no need to "Arrange" the stations just tune in to what you want to listen to just like on your car radio. If you get tired of that station just change to another. As you select a new station the older ones shift down on your "Recently Played" list but you can always go back to them.

I hope this helps to put it in context.

This is an issue when I plug my phone into my Bose stereo in my car. It shows all of these unwanted playlist. I agree that people should be able to delete these radio stations.

I am fed up with this. Every time I get into my car, and the bluetooth connects for the first time, my apple music defaults to a mistake of a halloween radio station. Of course there is no way for the user to remove these recently played stations, but Apple surely has a way to do this programmatically. The trouble is, these appear as playlists in my car, but not on my phone; I know, first world problem, but I should have the ability to remove these as I please. Better yet; I would like to remove the radio option from my phone all together. I am on the verge of cancelling my service, only to reestablish my service immediately after to get rid of this, but I do not have a 100% confirmation that doing so would remove the unwanted stations. Maybe its just me, but this will likely be a similar situation to the inability to merge legacy and current Apple IDs; which has yet to be addressed either.

Hey - stop dictating what appears on my phone or in my music app, or give me the ability to delete the app all together.

We really need a way to delete stations, just moving this toward the back doesn't help.  I will sometime be searching and clock an old one by mistake and it moves back to the top of the list.  This is ridiculous in a paid music service.
