Remove items from your device

Make sure your device is connected, then do one of the following:

Remove an item that was synced automatically: Do any of the following, then sync your device:

  • Deselect the checkbox for the item in your iTunes library, and select “Sync only checked [items]” in the Summary pane.

  • If the item was added because it’s part of a synced playlist, remove the item from the playlist.

  • Change your sync settings to keep the item from being synced.

Remove an item that was added manually or using Autofill: Click On My Device, select an item (or items), press the Delete key, and click Delete.


The types of content you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see the documentation for your device.

Important: Before disconnecting iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle from your computer, click the Eject button.
