Spotify has become one of the most popular streaming platforms thanks to its near endless amount of curated playlists.
Personalized playlists like Discover Weekly and Wrapped are different for each user, based on algorithms that track listening habits. Editorial playlists are curated by Spotify employees, who carefully sift through the music library to craft playlists for moods, holidays, and more. Listener playlists are made by users who have complete control of what they add and are offered recommendations based on that.
You can share these playlists with family or friends, or save them to your Library to listen to anytime. You can also collaborate on these playlists with other Spotify users.
But with so many playlists to choose from, it's easy to end up with a clogged Spotify library. That's why Spotify makes it easy to delete any playlist.
Just note that when you delete a playlist that others have subscribed to, it'll only be deleted from your Library — your subscribers will still have it. You can fully delete it for them too by removing all the songs.
And if you want to keep the playlist, but don't want others looking at it, you have the option to make it private and hide it from other users.
Here's how to delete a Spotify playlist using the desktop or mobile app.
How to delete Spotify playlists on a computer

4. Click "Delete" and click it again to confirm.
How to delete Spotify playlists on a mobile device
