Apple Music: remove song downloads while retaining playlists to stream

I have a large Apple Music Library with many playlists. I listen to music playlists daily. I received notice that my Iphone was out of storage. I have excellent wifi and want to remove downloaded music while retaining the entirety of my playlists to stream. Please help.

If you are in a playlist in the Music app, you should see a “…” menu option in the upper right corner. Tap it and you should see an option to “Remove Download.”


You also could do this in the settings app. Go to: Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Music. You’ll see a list of everything that is downloaded to your device, and you can choose what to remove by swiping to delete.
