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.

I agree, we must get. Way to delete these radio stations. In the car with CarPlay, there appears to be a limit on the number of radio stations that will display. Since it always includes Beats which I don't want, it is very limited. I like Apple Music but because of this limitation I am ready to back to Spotify.

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.

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.
