How do i delete songs/artists from ios7 on my ipad

THANK YOU! I am so new to this phone, I didn't realize I needed to swipe right to left! So simple, but if you don't know, you don't know!

Thank you, D.a.v.e! You are too smart! I finally got all the songs off my music app!!! 🙂

Thanks that worked! But it's so much hassle! I really wish I could just delete my songs manually instead of having to go through different things...

I don't want to have to delete all music and resync just to get rid of a few albums - I have over 10,000 songs and it takes forever!

This is utterly ridiculous that you can't swipe to delete

Come on apple, fix it!

you CAN swipe to delete.......just swipe right to left, rather than left to right.......

only appears to work for individual songs

not much help when i want to free up some space to shoot some video/take a photo quickly

Hi Dave, this worked for me, thanks, was stumped prior to reading this. When I swiped, I had to actually swipe on the title Music, then the little round delete icon come up on the left, touching that the Delete bar slid in on the right side. Just noting that because delete didn't just pop up when I swiped the first time. Thanks again

I have the same issue - this is so frustrating!

d.a.v.e. you rock man, thanks for that tip!!!

What FINALLY worked for me:

Settings>General>Usage>Music> SWIPE AND DELETE

This cleared all the CRAP, iCloud, Purchased, f-ing Billy Ray Cyrus (I have no idea how that nonsense got on my phone, it's not anywhere on my computer).

Then selected Manually Manage Music, clicked the boxes I wanted, clicked Sync again.

PHEW!

Where's Steve Jobs . . . 😟

I had the same problem, except on my iPhone 5 ios7.

Had a few songs that I didn't want, and it was really annoying me.

I just figured out how to delete the songs though, and without deleting all your music!

1) go to Settings > Music > turn on "Show all music"

2) open music app, and download all the songs that have the button next to it.

It should be a pink cloud button?? All the download buttons you see, just do all of em..

3) after songs are download, swipe on the song you wanna delete from right to left.

The download button will come back on, but ignore it this time

4) go back to settings, turn off show all music

And then they should be gone! Hope this helps :) this is how it worked for me so.

Yeah.....we miss you Steve Jobs!

My music is organized into playlists. I only sync the playlist.

It's easy to delete a song from a playlist and no cloud icon will haunt you. The only time I see the cloud icon is under "Songs" if I delete from the device playlist, but not the computer/iTunes playlist.

omg thank you!!
