How do you delete multiple duplicate apple music playlists all at once?

My apple music account is duplicating my playlists into the hundreds per playlist. How do I delete them all at once (and not manually one by one -- which would take me tens of hours at a minimum)? See screenshot. For example I have >500 of "1 Ruben Calm" playlist duplicated. Doing it the manual way would be very very difficult? I tried Command + Delete but it doesn't work. Thanks.

Hey Some_Long_Meade,


We'll be happy to help out with the duplicates that you are seeing.


This article will be helpful in removing duplicates without having to manually delete one by one: Find duplicate items in Music on Mac.


Convert music file formats in Music on Mac talks about the differences between the file types. That page also states, "The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library." That may be why you are seeing what appears to be duplicates.

 

Cheers!
