Deleted songs in iTunes still showing up on iDevice

I have an iTunes Match subscription, I do not have an Apple Music subscription.

iPad is running iOS 8.4, iMac is running 10.10.4 with iTunes 12.2.1.16

(this being said)

Since Apple Music, when I delete music from iTunes, the deleted music stays present on my iPad.

When deleting albums/songs from within iTunes, I've been given the choice to delete only the downloads (keep the music in the cloud) or delete the music permanently (delete from the Mac, iCloud and all iDevices). Obviously I choose to delete them permanently.

So I thought the music was in the cache of my iPad so I turned "iCloud-Music" off, went to Usage and deleted all downloaded music, rebooted, went to Music app, nothing to see there, turned back on the "iCloud-Music" option, since there is no option anymore to enable/disable iTunes Match on iPad, went to Music app and behold, all the music I've deleted is back again… Not what I want…


Any suggestions or solutions would be great.

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.3
