Can you ONLY delete one downloaded song at a time with Apple Music? Can you not remove the download of an entire album?

I am trying to delete downloaded copies of albums from Apple Music to save storage. It appears that I can only delete the file one song at a time. This is a major headache when I want to delete a couple gigs worth. Is there not a way to delete entire albums/artists? I don't want to remove from Apple Music altogether, just to get rid of the file off of my phone!

Thanks!

Jonathan

Hello Jonwil78,

If I understand correctly, you want to know if you can delete complete albums that you have saved to your iPhone for offline listening. Yes, the article below will walk you through the process of removing albums from your iPhone or all of your devices.

Delete songs and music videos from your iCloud Music Library - Apple Support

iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

In the Music app, find the name of the song, album, or playlist that you want to remove, and tap the More Options icon .

Tap Remove Download to remove the item for offline listening. The item will remain in your library on all of your devices.
Tap Remove from My Music to delete the item completely, from your library on all of your devices.

Cheers.

That's what I am able to do on a song. But if I want to remove all of my songs from an artist or an album that option is not there. I have to go to the specific song and remove it that way. Very frustrating!!!!
