How do I delete a playlist from my iTunes Library. I've used the Delete key and it doesn't work. I've also highlighted the Playlist, pressed Control and mouse but no "Delete" appears in options.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Click Library near the top centre of the iTunes window if not already selected. Then select the menu item View > Show Sidebar if it is available. Right-click the playlist name in the sidebar. You should get a different set of options. Alternatively if you see a circle with three dots inside you can try clicking that for options.

Right-click on the playlist name in the sidebar. If delete doesn't appear in the pop-menu are you trying to delete a built-in list or something held in a remote library? If you have iTunes Match or Apple Music the option might be Remove from iCloud Music Library or something similar instead.

Thank you for your prompt reply but I have a bluetooth mouse so there is not the ability to right click. Someone said to use the Control button and mouse but there is no Delete in the options that pop up..
I am running version 12.9.5.5 on iTunes and version 10.14.5 on my Mac. The Mac is running OSMojave.
The playlist is stored in Music but is a playlist I no longer want. There are a couple of playlists I'd like to delete.
The pop-up menu options are:
Play
Shuffle (the name of my playlist)
Play Next
Play Later
_________
Open in New Window
Which version of iTunes running on which version of OS X/macOS?
Where is the playlist you're trying to delete stored?
What options do you see in the pop-up menu?
