    Welcome to the Apple Community.

     

    If you are talking about iTunes in the cloud, you can't delete them, they belong to Apple.

    I have exactly the same issue. I don't want or need my recordings from continuing education seminars to go to Match; my wife has hundreds of recordings from her sessions at choral events-she's a high school voice teacher. Together, we have several hundreds of such recoedings that we need only on our iPods [they're synced to our iMac and backed up from there] but do not need them in iCloud nor want them to count against our 25,000 limit.

     

    Strangely, some don't upload becaause they're "voice memos." Others, recorded in the same sessions and apparently of the same Kind, get Matched/uploaded.

     

    I'd like a check-box in one of the Get Info tabs that says: "Do not Upload/Match this file, and/or Delete from Match Library." I look forward to your advice/reply. Thank you!
