Is there a way to remove all downloads from Apple Music at once (iOS)?

While it is easy to download songs, albums, or playlists to my iPhone, it is very messy to try to remove them, especially if one song "lives" in multiple places (such as two separate playlists). Is there an easy way to see all downloads in one place and quickly choose multiple items to remove at once? Or a "remove all downloads" button?


Specifically working on a nearly full iPhone 5s running iOS 8.4.

Found these instructions this morning and it worked:

  1. Go to the Music app
  2. You should have a grey bar monitoring the downloads near the top of the screen, tap on it
  3. Here you can see all the downloads - do not manually try to cancel all the downloads one by one, this would take too much time
  4. Scroll down until the end of the list
  5. You should see the "cancel all downloads option there" (a shame: it should rather be visible on the top of the list

It might require repeating multiple times to actually cancel all downloads.
