How do you delete a radio station from Apple Music?

I chatted with an online Apple rep about this issue today. I want to delete the stations I don't need (that Apple has created) along with a couple of mine that are just taking up space on my iPhone screen. I was told that there is NO WAY to do this. Has anyone else found this to be true? Apparently, you can't delete stations that they've curated nor ones that you've custom created. This is incredibly lame, IMHO. I will never subscribe to Apple Music if you can't completely customize the experience. I'd rather stick with Spotify and Pandora. Apple wake up on this one. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Allow people to delete their unwanted stations. Jeez.

Launch the Music app, tap Edit then tap the red minus icon then tap Delete.

My problem with this feature Relates to Siri. When I ask Siri to "play some music", she automatically plays the same lame early 2000's synth-pop radio station that I've been trying to delete for the past few months. this totally messes with my user experience with the product. I'm not trying to be difficult. I just want to find a way to fix it so that Siri play something else besides music that I'm trying to forget for my college years.

Dear Apple - what happened to the planning phase of your product development? What kind of QA engineers are you working with now? because this little detail totally messes with my iPhone user experience.

Please to fix this. I really dislike listening to crappy music as a get dressed for work.

I accidently created a Station on my iPhone.

Got rid of it like this:

1. Close Music

2. Go to Music Settings and turn off "history".

3. Open Music: Station was gone

4. Close Music

5. Turn "history" back on.

And the Station was gone...

I agree, the homepage for Apple Music is cluttered with pre selected stations like Country, POP or Mix tape that I personally have no interest in now or ever.

I think the user experience needs to be cleaner and determined by the me/you the $ubscriber not Apple or Beats!

I am fed up with this. Every time I get into my car, and the bluetooth connects for the first time, my apple music defaults to a mistake of a halloween radio station. Of course there is no way for the user to remove these recently played stations, but Apple surely has a way to do this programmatically. The trouble is, these appear as playlists in my car, but not on my phone; I know, first world problem, but I should have the ability to remove these as I please. Better yet; I would like to remove the radio option from my phone all together. I am on the verge of cancelling my service, only to reestablish my service immediately after to get rid of this, but I do not have a 100% confirmation that doing so would remove the unwanted stations. Maybe its just me, but this will likely be a similar situation to the inability to merge legacy and current Apple IDs; which has yet to be addressed either.

Hey - stop dictating what appears on my phone or in my music app, or give me the ability to delete the app all together.

So is this still true? I notice most of these posts are from 2015. So is there any way to just show the Stations that I've explicitly created? Currently, if I encounter a song I like and Create Station on it I see it in Radio | Recently Played list, but so does any Radio Station I happen to just click on to see if I like it. And if I don't like that Station there's no way to delete from my list or just see Stations I've created? Really? That seems very lame. I just want to to see a list of Stations I've explicitly created without being polluted with other things I just happened to click on.

It's still true for me, can't organize stations (iPhone 6s).

Also, as others have said, phantom music plays when my phone is plugged-in (or bluetooth) to my vehicles (Rav4/Sonata). Every time, even on airplane mode, iTunes will play songs not even on my phone over and over again. I'm talking about songs I have purged from the phone (not reset phone, just deleted the music and the playlists that had the song(s). You could say it's the car(s), but my wife's Android doesn't do this in any vehicle.

Furthermore, I do not want to "enable" stupid iCloud to store playlists, which is the only way you can save radio playlists from the phone, and it is the primary reason i am not renewing itunes radio after this trial is over. I don't need cloud storage to save a playlist. Especially when my phone has GBs of free space as it is. Or let me save it to OneDrive or other.

This didn’t work for me. I’ve just spent a few hours creating new playlists and organising my library and accidentally created a station from a random song. Could really know how to delete it as it’s driving me crazy.

Apple Music maintains a history of Radio stations you have listened to whether they are the pre-created feature stations or any custom stations you create. As you listen to new stations the older ones will disappear from view. The items on the Radio tab don't take up any room as they are just links to playlists. If don't like some of the available stations just don't listen to them.

Within the My Music and Playlist sections you have full control of what gets saved there and can delete stuff you don't want.

The real question should be just why does Apple have BOTH Radio and Music. I can't figure that out. And they really need to do a better job of explaining this difference to people. Much less explain what Beats Music is doing in there. What I did was to just turn off Apple Radio. Period. Wait a while and turn it back on or use a different approach for "radio" style music. And be careful with adding new stations. I just do not get it either why Apple seems to add stations that I never listen to either. I am very afraid of their interface between Apple Music and MY Music/Playlists and have to see how that plays out. But if Apple gives me control I will use Apple Music rather than Apple Radio or Beats. The cost per month for unlimited downloads is really excellent. $9.99 a month rather than $1.29/song.

You really can't tell the difference between playing music and listening to radio stations? And you don't see a difference between how radio stations work vs. how Beats1 works?

Wow! You're jesting, right?

Thank you for posting this! I was just about to update to 9.0 until I read you can no longer delete recently played radio stations that you create yourself. I just updated iTunes to the latest and ran into the problem you're referring to. Luckily you CAN delete these unwanted lists in ios8 and I just did! 🙂
