Q: How do I delete iTunes match playlist

Overtime I open iTunes and connect with the match cloud, I get duplicate playlist and songs.  I have figured out to select the cloud duplicate songs and delete them.  How do I delete the playlists' duplicates?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

    Stop invoking the Update iTunes Match command after you delete the playlists. There is no reason for you to use it in this situation. Just delete the playlist from iTunes or the iOS device and they will be removed from all the devices.

    Thanks.  I was not using that command.  I didn't know it existed.  I was able to delete most of the duplicate playlist.  ITunes Match seems to have created two additional playlist folders, "Music to be updated"  and "Music to be downloaded".  Both have several thousand songs in them.  My library has 10,000 plus.   Also, I have loss the folders, but not the music, "purchased on ...."
