I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some that won't give me the option to delete when I swipe it. Why won't it let me?

Do they have a cloud icon next to them? If they do, they aren't on the iPad so you can't delete them. They are in iCloud ready for you to download them if you want to and they are visible in the music app for this purpose.


If you don't want to see these songs that are in iCloud, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Show all>Music>Off.
