Q: How do I delete songs hidden in the icloud without enabling itunes match.

I have two laptops that are exactly the same. On one I was able to send all the music I didn't want anymore to the recycle bin and then empty the recycle bin. On the other computer I was only able to "hide" the songs on the cloud. I don't see an option to delete and I only see discussions about how to delete from the icloud when itunes match is enabled. I do not subscribe to iTunes Match. Please tell me there is a way to delete these songs because by just hidding them they are still accessable to be redownloaded, which defeats the purpose.

    1. "show all" should be turned off. Go to setting > music and turn it off.

    2. Delete all the songs (something you may not wanna do, but I only had just the songs I wanted to delete). Go to settings > general > usage > music and swipe to delete all music from your iPhone.
