Method 3. Delete Albums or Tracks at Once via the Music App

To delete a specific song or album, first ensure you have made a backup of your music. This will prevent permanent loss if you accidentally delete something. If you see a cloud icon next to a song, it's stored in the cloud and won't take up device storage, so you can skip deleting it. Otherwise, proceed with deleting the album or song.

Step 1. Open the Music App, tap the "Library", and select the albums or songs you want to delete.

Step 2. Long-press the Song/Album until a menu appears.

Step 3. To delete a playlist or a song from your library, tap either "Delete from Library" or "Remove Downloads" depending on your preference. The former removes the playlist from your library, while the latter deletes the downloaded playlist from your iPhone.

Step 4. Confirm your deletion by taping "Delete Album."
