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

So we all have a free U2 album in our iTunes library now. I don't like U2 and don't want it. I get an option to 'hide' it in iTunes, but not to delete it. How can I remove it entirely from my library in iCloud? I have just been to iCloud.com, but can't see anything there.

iTunes, Windows 7

A:

King_Penguin posted in another thread that Apple have now added an option to fully remove the U2 album from our accounts! It is as this link: itunes.com/soi-remove

 

I can confirm it works for me.

 

Thanks to Apple for implementing this option, and to King_Penguin for letting us know about it.

    They did not get "into your device". They put the album in iTunes in the Cloud and, based on the settings that you set up (i.e., Automatic Downloads), it may have downloaded to your device. Basically, iTunes in the Cloud simply points to media in the iTunes Store, so that if you have deleted it from your Library (which lives on your computer), and want to re-download it, the record of your purchase has a link to where that item is in the iTunes Store, and it allows the re-download. That is why, if an Album, Book, Movie, etc. is deleted from the iTunes Store, then you cannot re-download it.

     

    Cheers,

    I have found a way to completely wipe the album from you music. 1) physically downloaded in by tapping the cloud you can go to the album. 2) If you see the cloud with the downward pointing arrow try again 3) once downloaded you can now manually delete by using the swipe right deleting one song at a time once you have deleted the last song the album will be erased from your music and iTunes you an thank me later

    Or just use the opt out lino mentioned a hundred times In these forums. U2 are a bit late but thanks for the effort.

    I went through the web link, but since I had previously deleted the album from iTunes it did not remove the album from my ipod. I contacted apple support and all I had to do was open the cd on my ipod, select each song, swipe left, and a delete box appeared. I clicked the box and each song was removed from my ipod. I restarted my ipod after deleting the cd to make sure and it is still gone.
