How do you delete a radio station from Apple Music?

I just updated to the new Apple Music and there's 2 radio stations on my list that I don't want and didn't add. I cannot figure out how to delete them. Anyone know? Thanks!

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.

It took me a while to get used to but picture it like the radio in your car. You tune in to a station and listen and if you change stations that older station is still there and you can go back to it if you want to. If you turn off your car while tuned in to a station, when you turn your car back on that station is still tuned in. There is really no need to "Arrange" the stations just tune in to what you want to listen to just like on your car radio. If you get tired of that station just change to another. As you select a new station the older ones shift down on your "Recently Played" list but you can always go back to them.


I hope this helps to put it in context.

Apple should at least give their users the option to delete Recently Played playlists, they used to let people do this in ios 8. Unless you are a paid Apple Music subscriber, you cannot listen to any of your Recently Played playlists anyway (with the exception of Beats 1). Most of my Recently Played playlists were last played over 6 months ago, yet they still show up as "recently played". Even Apple Music subscribers cannot delete Recently Played playlists.

I have this same issue and previously complained.


My kids have access to radio stations i created YEARS ago (Snoop Dogg, Tupac, etc) which DO NOT respect the language settings that I have made. All I want to do is delete them.


Additionally, when i connect my phone to my car, I'm able to view these playlists which aesthetically take up space from the REAL playlists that I'm creating with songs used through the subscription service.


Please allow us to clear and remove these stations. I've spent $10K plus to make our entire household use Apple products and it takes a lot of effort to just make the tablets' "kid friendly". It's tempting to jump to amazon who will make my life easier and my kids' experience more secure.
