Deleted songs still on iPod but not on iTunes?

I deleted a number of songs on iTunes and synced my iPod. The songs are gone on iTunes, but they are still on my iPod, but they are grey so I couldn't listen even if I wanted to. This is really annoying and has been going on for a long time- I've tried re-syncing and manually choosing songs to put on my iPod, but no matter what, they are still there. Please help!

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.0.2

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Then try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Unsync all music and resync

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
