Hi i'm trying to figuer out how to delete music off my phone and off my icould account.

so i type all that in the search engine .. and all i can find is that i need to turn iMatch on in my iTunes account ..

so when i hit the iMatch button .. it ask me to subcribe to iMatch and subcribing cost 25 bucks .. Really?

do i really really have to pay 25 bucks a month to be able to delete stuff off my phone ;o/

i'm sure i'm totally doing some thing wrong.. any help would be awesome.

iTunes Match is an annual fee, not monthly : http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

You can hide purchased music from the Purchased links and cloud via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

If you want to delete music from your phone (assuming that they are downloaded and not only in the cloud) then you can delete individual tracks directly on it by swiping/dragging across a track's name from right-to-left on the Songs screen - that should reveal a Delete button to its right. If the tracks are only in the cloud (i.e. they have a cloud icon next to them in the Music app) then you can turn that off via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'

If you want to delete a number of tracks and/or albums/artists then connect the phone to your computer, and if you have the left-hand sidebar enabled on your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) select Music underneath the phone 'device'

And use the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and delete the tracks. Or if you are automatically syncing music change your music sync options via its Music tab
