How do I remove the free U2 album from my iTunes library?

I hid it in the iTunes store.

Still shows up in my phone.

Have you downloaded it?

It occurs to me that a number of the solutions are missing the point, hiding is no use if one doesn't want the content in there.

In where?

Please tell us HOW they deleted it.

Otherwise you're being unhelpful ... at best.

Highlight the tracks and hit delete/move to trash. Pretty simple, really. 😉

We'll miss you.

OK, "show only downloads" got rid of most if it.

But that one song that downloaded when I was trying to find the non-existent delete button? I guess that's permanent now.

I think it's called "California (There Is No End To U2)".

Thank you.

Highlight the tracks on the phone, or plug into a desktop and highlight in iTunes?

Restart your phone.

It could also be worth mentioning that I do NOT have iTunes Match. (Some solutions I found by Googling rely on having iTunes Match.)

I do have Match, and it makes no difference to the list if you delete a Matched copy of a song, Matched copies do not originate in the iTunes Library.

I can tell Apple is not doing well now. They shuffle the music to my throat without my permission............... Anyway I get rid of most of it and try everything still have the California.... in my phone!!! Upset Upset Upset

Complain to Apple, not us.

I was wondering if anyone can help. I have hidden the album and on my phone I've turned off 'Show All Music' but I still can't get rid of two of the songs?

Apple can afford to give away an album that will likely sell quite well internationally and you see that as a sign it isn't doing well? Clueless.

If you do not want it, delete. It isn't rocket science.

And thus you are forced to play them?

Same with me 😟
