Delete playlists in iTunes 12.8

Does anyone have any issue deleting playlists from iTunes 12.8?

For some reason iTines creates duplicates of playlists in iTunes and I am trying to delete them, I used to just select the playlist and press the delete key but that no longer seems to be an option! Nor is delete available in the contextual menu with option selection over the playlist or in the File menu.....


Anyone?

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS Sierra (10.12.6), null

Mike B,


You may be seeing those duplicate playlist names with the numbers 1, 2, etc appended? They occur under certain conditions when the phone is synched.


They can be deleted like any other playlist: right-click > Delete From Library. Make sure you are right-clicking the playlist name in your iTunes library, not on the phone listing.
