iPod Touch 6 gen, can't delete podcasts

viewing the list in iTunes, I can't delete podcasts I manually up loaded

won't delete from iTunes library so, I can't remove them from the iPod


oddly, more difficult to put them on the iPod than used to be


I did manage to remove some pod casts months ago, but the the listing for the podcast remains in the library

can't I remove those?


thank you

My apologies, I was thinking about performing the clean up in your library and then syncing those changes to your device. See Manage your podcast subscriptions and library on iPod touch - Apple Support instead.

under view, I don't see a option for "classic"

not sure what view I have

found I can delete individual podcasts, I was trying to delete them by deleting the entire selection


but cannot delete the listing for the podcast.. the "title"?

in "myname" iPod Touch"... cannot remove the titles of every podcast... yes, used "delete" key, tried both methods


hope pics help explain, first shows, podcasts deleted but the title of the podcasts is still there

second pic, the view I have...


thank you

I'm not subscribed to any of them... as far as I can tell, no download of subscription start when I am online with iTunes open iTunes online (( I may have removed the series I still have from the library, I wasted a lot of time trying to find out how to make them play in the proper sequence, they played in reverse, newest to oldest, so the list showing on my iPod, may mean they are stored there?)) but... I still want to know how to delete the titles from the library... but, they don't show in all library views, I've tried to show what I am seeing.....

The basic premise is backup device, restore device to factory settings, restore backup. That should remove any cruft that has got stuck in your iPod for reasons unknown. Before going that far perhaps there is a more targeted approach. On your iPod try Settings > General > iPod Storage > Podcasts > Edit and then remove any visible content listed.

they don't appear in the iPod


it shows in iTunes, in the "on my device" "Podcasts" window


they are not seen as stored in iTunes without "on my device"

and don't show on my iPod


same theory, stuck in iTunes?


I can't be the only one with this problem


I discovered if I left click one of the names and try to move them a red oval that says 4294... appears for all of them
