Hello allegrowx,

Thanks for your question. I'll include the iPhone 7 User Guide below for you with the steps to remove a playlist:

iPhone User Guide - Playlists

Playlists

Create playlists to organize your music. View Playlists, tap New Playlist near the top of the list, then enter a title. Tap User uploaded file to add songs or videos.

User uploaded file

Edit a playlist. Select the playlist, then tap Edit.

  • Add more songs: Tap User uploaded file.

  • Delete a song: Tap User uploaded file, then tap Remove. Deleting a song from a playlist doesn’t delete it from iPhone.

  • Change the song order: Drag User uploaded file.

New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPhone with your computer, or through iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.

Clear or delete a playlist you created on iPhone. Select the playlist, then tap Clear or Delete.

Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.


If you created the playlist on your computer, you would need to delete the playlist in iTunes and sync with your iPhone again.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
