Step 1: Open the Spotify app on your computer.
Step 2: Head to 'Your Library' and filter 'Downloaded'.
Step 3: Click on the playlist or album you want to delete and click the green 'down arrow' button.

Spotify provides an option to delete all your downloaded music within the app settings. This method offers a convenient way to remove all Spotify downloads at once. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Open the Spotify app and tap on 'Settings' at the top right.
Step 2: Select the 'Storage' option in the menu and then you should see 'Remove all downloads'. Tap on it and all your downloaded songs will be deleted.
The 'remove all downloads' option is only available for mobile apps. For computers, you can clear Spotify cache or uninstall the Spotify app to delete all Spotify downloads. However, these methods will also delete any other data on the Spotify app. So, if you choose to reinstall the app, you need to log in and set up the app again.
Part 4. Why Does Spotify Undownload Songs
"Why did Spotify remove my downloads?"
1. As mentioned above, you can only download up to ten thousand songs on a single device. If you've reached this number, Spotify may automatically delete old songs to save your newly downloaded ones.
2. Spotify requires users to go online at least once every 30 days to maintain access to downloaded songs. If you are without an Internet connection for more than 30 days, your downloads may be deleted.
3. If you cancel your Spotify Premium subscription or it ends, the downloaded songs will be deleted and you will no longer have access to them.
4. If you are using a VPN, the downloaded songs may not be available in the region where the VPN is located. Likewise, if you are abroad, some songs may not be accessible. View also: How to Use Spotify Abroad
