Empty Genius Playlists in the Music app are growing in number and I don't know why.

I have updated my New iPad to iOS 6, and for some reason - which I cannot figure out - every time I open the Music app it seems like another empty Genius playlist has been added. I do sync with iTunes and have NO genius playlists in the music section of iTunes on my MacBook. Genius is turned off as well in iTunes.


Since these Genius playlists cannot be deleted on the iPad itself and they are nowhere to be found in iTunes, I am at a loss. I haven't tried unsyncing all music and then syncing again because I just noticed this today at work. I will try that when I get home.


Any other sage words of advice? BTW ... I do not use iTunes Match either.

The new iPad-OTHER, iOS 5.1, 64GB WiFi

I found a way to delete them. Tap them, so they. Tap the save button (I don't know if it's called that in english, I'm German - the button on the far right.) Tap it again to "edit" then tap "done", go back to "lists". Then tap and hold on the same list. A "X" delete button should appear.


I don't know if it always works, I just tried and tapped and tapped and tapped...
