Welcome to the community!

There are a couple of different ways to remove songs from your collection. To clarify, are you trying to remove songs from a playlist or from your Collected Songs?

In the meantime, I’ve listed the steps for both below with some screenshots to help. (You can tap the screenshot to make it bigger):

Playlist

First, be sure to filter your collection by Playlists
Scroll down to the playlist you'd like to edit and select it
Tap the edit icon to the far left of the play button
Tap the red circle with a dash to remove individual songs

**Don’t forget to tap Done at the top when you’re finished.**

Alternatively, without tapping the Edit button, you can swipe from right to left on an individual song and a Delete option should appear on the right side.

Collected Songs

Filter your collection by Songs
Tap the song you want to remove
Tap Collected on the far left to remove the track from your collection
You should receive a notification confirming the track has been removed.
