Memory is full on my ipad and I can't delete songs from my itunes

My ipad is indicating the storage is full. Most of the storage is taken up by Itunes, however, I can't delete downloaded songs either in settings or in the app.

Hi bb3535,


Deleting the music under Settings should delete it from your iPad. Since that isn't occurring, please try powering off your iPad and restarting. This process can help when apps or settings aren't responding. Here's how to do this: Turn iPad on or off - Apple Support


After restarting, try removing music again:

Go to Settings > Music > Downloaded Music, tap Edit, then tap the Delete button next to All Songs or the artists whose music you want to delete.


These instructions are from this article Add music to iPad and listen offline - Apple Support


Kind regards.

Hello bb3535,


You came from this page which walks through how to delete music within the Apple Music app: Delete music in the Apple Music app


If your iPad Pro storage is full, use this resource to create the needed space on the device: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad


For more help, we'll need more information to assist. For example, what happens when you try to delete this music within the Music app? Are you receiving any errors? Are you an Apple Music subscriber?


Take care.

Thanks for your reply.


My ipad shows that storage is full and continues to send me messages about that.

As I mentioned, I have attempted to delete songs through the app and also in settings.

When I highlight a song to delete or highlight all downloaded songs to delete, nothing happens.


I am a subscriber to Itunes.
