Hello psbarrett13,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We understand from your post that you would like to delete whole playlists instead of one song at a time. You can delete all the songs from your device using the steps below:

Dipo1, 


Do you and your daughter share an Apple ID? If so, you may want to have her create her own Apple ID and then use Family Sharing. If you are not using the same Apple ID, then she should be able to go into her Profile and stop sharing the playlists with you. This article has steps on how to stop sharing playlists:
