Cannot delete three unwanted songs on iPhone 4s - iOS 7.0.2

Yesss FINALLY!!! I logged out of my iTunes account under iTunes and App Store option in General Settings and it worked. Thank you! I've been so annoyed that I couldn't shuffle my iphone library without having to skip through music I bought over 5 years ago.

Thank you, your solution worked perfectly.

Bah. They all come back after following the instructions from nikitarina. Signed out...they disappear. Sign back in....they all reappear.

What a complete bunch of nonsense from Apple. This really just may push me over the edge to go Android. I mean, the absolute GALL of putting songs on your phone that you DIDN'T ASK FOR NOR WANT is truly incredible.

Okay, went into iTunes & App store in the Settings.

Under 'show all' I switched off 'music' and also 'videos'.

This seems to have done the trick.

The insane thing is that there's still no rhyme or reason for any of this happening. All the artists and songs are completely different than anything in my Library, and I've got match turned off.

😠

Found my own solution to half this problem.

I had the issue of mystery songs too.

I tried removing all my play lists.

Still had 70 songs left.

I manually deleted them on my phone and then closed my apps.

When I resynced most of the songs were gone.

But it still had 35 left.

It turns out 10 of them weren't songs. They were memos I had recorded in the voice memo app.

I deleted those.

But I still had 25 left which reloaded back onto phone once I synced

I tried logging out of iTunes/App Store in settings.

This worked too. All of those songs were gone

But it was only temporary because once I logged back into my iTunes account they reappeared.

Finally I discovered something.

If you scroll down there are two options to manually synce Genre & Album.

For so e reason, I had 15 'albums' synced. Random ones. Most only had one or 2 songs per album.

Once I unchecked these albums and resynced all but 4 songs disappeared.

And of these 4, 2 were music videos.

And also, all 4 songs are from the same Justin Timberlake album.

I don't even like Justin Timberlake (Except dick in a box)

The album in question was from the Holiday 25 days of Christmas app.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I FREAKIN' LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!!!! IT ACUALLY WORKED, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I HAD THIS RIDICULOUS RUNNING MAN NIKE+ 40 MINUTE SONG I COULDN'T GET RID OF FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND I FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND IT WORKED!!!! SERIOUSLY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! 🙂

It's cool.
Just glad I could help.

so after trying and failing to very piece of advice on here, i was tempted to hand swipe all 500 songs that i could not get rid of..

but i figured it out!!

if you still can't seem to get rid of those unwanted song
on your device go to

>settings

>general

>usage

(wait for a second while things load) >music

now swipe the "all music" and delete!

this should erase ALL the music on your device and you can now plugged it back into your commuter and add the selected music you actually want to listen too!!

hope this works for

Download Itunes software freeware. Delete that with advanced tab and cleanup your device and delete that music from media tab and music...

"Finally I discovered something.

You nailed it. Thank you.

What Ukeboy is referring to is once the iPhone is connected, under the "music" section you scroll down. There is also a way to remove manually added songs which has stumped me for many months. Thank you for posting this and sorry for replying to an old thread. There are many that are still plagued with this problem so I thought it best to call this out.

Cheers!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we spend enough money on Apple devices that they could refrain from imposing content on their costumers. They other disapointing element is that they can see how many people want to get rid of these unwanted songs and thney stand on the sidelines doing nothing. Unacceptable. I have been a client of a car company for more than 25 years, Toyota. I have decided to change because of bad service. Apple could be next.
