Unable to delete uploaded tracks from iTunes Match
Hello,
A few months ago my hard drive containing my iTunes library failed. I managed to recover most of the tracks, but there were 10,000 files which could only be partially recovered.
iTunes Match uploaded these partial files, and I can't get rid of them.
I have attempted to delete the files from my iTunes Match collection following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915
I have also created a new, empty, iTunes library, and activated iTunes Match just so I can delete all the tracks stored and start fresh.
However, when I delete files from the iTunes Match, the next time I updated iTunes Match the files reappear.
This problem is specifically about tracks that have been uploaded to iTunes Match: not tracks I have purchased from the iTunes Store.
iTunes Match is not enabled on my iPhone or iPad.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can wipe my iTunes Match collection?
Would cancelling my iTunes Match subscription and then re-starting it do this?
Thanks.
