What are the steps to delete a playlist without deleting the songs from my library?
On Apple Music, by default, when you add a song to a playlist, the song is NOT added to your Library.
Change this default setting.
On your iPhone,
Now, when you create a new playlist, the songs in the playlist will also be added to your Library.
And when you delete your playlist, the song will still remain in your Library.

Got it. So just to be clear, tapping the 3 dots in upper right side of the playlist, then hitting “Delete From Library” will just delete the playlist, but not the songs?
Yes, provided you have already added the songs on the playlist to Library!
I would recommend you create a new test playlist - add songs to it. And then delete the test playlist, to become familiar with the settings!
