Getting rid of synced music

My girlfriend and I share an Apple ID for our iPad and her IPhone. She has Apple Music on her iPhone, but I do not need it on the IPad since I sync music from my computer on iTunes on the iPad. I uploaded all of my music that she does not want onto the iPad, but now it synced to her iPhone too but says “it is not synced across your devices”. We do not want the music to even appear on her phone, so how can we get rid of all these 4000 songs that are just in her library but cannot be played?

thank you!

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Stop doing this immediately!

The person creating a new Apple ID needs to thoroughly and completely cleanse their iPhone/iPad as follows:

Oh yes it will!

Once she executes the steps in the article above, her iPhone will be erased. And with her new Apple ID, there will be none of your music on her iPhone.

You said your music is on her iPhone.

You each need your own Apple ID. Actually, I think I left out some cleansing requirements above. Once you each have your own IDs, since all devices sound like they’re cross-contaminated with the other’s possessions, you should scrub each device as listed in the article above, and re-populate them with only material that person owns.

But her phone has everything on it already, we wouldn’t want to erase everything else on her phone, we just want to erase the music. Would it be possible to erase the music by erasing the iPad?
