Spotify allows you to download playlists, albums, and podcasts for offline listening. But it limits you to downloading up to 10,000 songs on 5 different devices. Additionally, the actual number of songs you can download depends on the storage capacity available on your device. If you don't have enough storage space or have reached the limit, you need to delete Spotify downloads before you can download other songs. Keep in mind that even after canceling downloading of songs, you can still stream them on Spotify as long as you have an internet connection. Today, we will show you how to undownload songs on Spotify and download unlimited Spotify songs without Premium.
Part 1. How to Undownload Songs on Spotify iPhone/Android
If you're a Spotify Premium subscriber, you can easily download music from Spotify for offline listening. However, downloading too much can take up a lot of storage space. Deleting Spotify downloads can help free up storage space on your device, especially if you have limited storage capacity. It also helps if you have a bunch of other songs you want to download. To remove downloads from Spotify mobile, you can follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open the Spotify app on your iOS/Android device and tap on 'Your Library'.
Step 2: Filter 'Downloaded' to see all your downloaded tracks.
Step 3: Find the playlist, album, or podcast you want to delete and then tap on the green 'down arrow'.
Step 4: Then click 'Remove' to confirm undownloading Spotify songs. When the green arrow turns gray, it has been removed from your downloads.
Part 2. How to Delete Downloaded Songs on Spotify PC/Mac
Likewise, you can easily delete Spotify downloads on your computer. But please note that just like you cannot download a single song but only an entire playlist/album, you cannot undownload an individual song either. This is the same on mobile phones. Now let's see how to undownload songs on Spotify on a computer.
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.
Step 4: Then you will be prompted to remove from downloads, click 'Remove' to confirm this process. And the green download button will turn gray to show you the playlist has been deleted from the downloads.
Part 3. How to Undownload All Songs on Spotify
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
