Can't delete songs off iPhone iOS7 and the songs dont show up in iTunes!

@sekplus and others.

I have good news for you! I had the same problem, and I seem to have found a solution.

Just follow these 4 easy steps on your device:

1. Go to Settings => Music and turn on "Show All Music" option.
2. Go to your music, find the songs that you could not delete from your iPhone and download them to your device by tapping the cloud icon.
3. While the songs are downloading to your device, navigate to Settings => Music and turn off the "Show All Music" option.
4. Go back to your music, wait till the songs are downloaded and just swipe your songs to left and delete them as you would normally do.

Thanks for that; Was scratching my head for a while trying to figure this one out. Your solution worked for me.

Thank you! The songs I couldn't delete were able to be played, so I never would of thought they needed to be downloaded again. So happy to get those songs off my phone!

Hello.

Awesome, finally a workaround that works. Thanks a lot!

I was going crazy with one song that was downloaded by mistake form iTunes and that I couldn't get rid of.

The song was playing fine, but impossible to delete.

Best regards.

Thank you so much. I spent nearly an hour trying to remove those songs. I got all of mine removed except for one which I can live with.

Well done Vahesalynyan! You sir have kept me sane. I did try this before except I left out the turn off Show All when I went to delete. Thanks a lot! Great help.

I have about 90 of these songs on my phone taking up a lot of space that cannot be deleted. Anyone have another solution? I don't have the patience to download all of them, it would take hours

Thank you! My Music app is now angry at me and keeps quitting, but I shall persevere! I notice that when I go back into the app, more and more songs are now gone. I had 214 songs that I did not want. I normally love all things Apple, but this... this makes me Hulk out. Thank you vaheasalnyan!

I was having the same issue. Greyed out songs in iTunes that were not showing up in iTunes, and 340 songs there WERE on my iphone, not through the cloud, and would play in airplane mode, that would not show on my phone when connected to iTunes. I deleted all the music on my phone, then restarted the phone. First I deleted all the music through iTunes, which did nothing. Then (after closing all open apps) I went to Settings--> General --> Usage --> Music --> Swipe, and did a manual delete of all the music on the phone. The phone finally showed "no content," but after a few minutes, even on airplane mode, one song still pops up, that happened to be the first song on the phone when listed by phone.

However, I still have the greyed out ghost songs on my iTunes that show on my phone, and they are only songs that I previously purchased on my phone.

If anyone has anymore answers, help would be appreciated.

I just had to keep repeating the 4 steps above and there were 3 songs that kept popping back up even though they weren't in my iTunes library anymore. There is still one stubborn song, but so far it is the only one showing up.

I initially thought that these were songs that I bought through iTunes on my phone, but the very stubborn song is actually from a burned CD from back in 2006!

I haven't had to plug my phone back in to iTunes yet, but I'm getting ready to buy some more songs and I wonder what will happen when I sync and back up my phone? *sigh* Fingers crossed!

Thanks!

This is what I had to do to get rid of four songs I could not clear through iTunes
