I’m sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. I have a whole bunch of albums that I had deleted from my music library on my computer but failed to delete from the cloud when I did so. It now means that they have stayed in the cloud and I can’t work out how to delete them from there. I don’t want them! How can I delete them?
Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, missas80.
If we understand your post correctly, you'd like to delete purchased songs from your Music library. We’d like to help.
Purchased songs can't be deleted but can be hidden. Follow the steps in this article:
Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.
Hello missas80.
The music you uploaded to your iCloud library from CDs can only be deleted from a device using your iTunes library.
This guide will show you how to do that:
Delete music, movies, and TV shows from your device
Cheers.
Hi, thanks for trying, but no, that’s not what I was asking.
When you sign up for Apple Music, it uploads all of your own music from your music library In iTunes (ripped from CDs) into the cloud.
Normally when you delete this music from your iTunes library, you’re given the option to also delete from iCloud. If you don’t take this option, the music is deleted from iTunes and your files on your computer, but stays in the cloud. I would like to know how to delete it from the cloud, since I have no way of accessing it any more.
Hello, thank you for your reply, although I could not see an answer to my question in the link you offered. It only tells me how to “Remove content that you downloaded to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or Android device”. I’m not looking to delete content from any devices.
i am looking to delete items that were originally mine, that I uploaded to the cloud, and that are no longer in my iTunes library, only in the cloud. You said “The music you uploaded to your iCloud library from CDs can only be deleted from a device using your iTunes library.” How do I do this if the music is no longer visible in my iTunes library because I have deleted it from there?
Thanks.
Deleting music that’s only in the cloud
