14.6 podcasts upgrade glitch

The slide left to delete single episodes in my play queue doesn't work any longer. I want to keep the subscription but sometimes i listen from other apps so i want to delete single episodes from the unplayed queue.

when i slide left i see an orange bookmark, then blue with down pointing arrow. If i swipe left a second time red trash shows but will no swipe all the way left to delete or stay visible long enough to touch to delete

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Deleting alone does not seem to remove the episode file in the new iOS 14.5 Podcasts app upgrade. The pic below shows the Podcasts app settings at iPhone Settings>Podcasts (left frame), the Station settings (middle) and the Show settings (right) in the image below. Check the blue arrows which cause Shows to be updated automatically and permit you to limit new episodes. Also note the blue circles that hide played episodes and remove played downloads.


Note that there is no reference to deleting — only Removing or Hiding when Played. You therefore must play an episode or mark it as such in the menu when you tap the three dots next to an episode.
