Does the collaborator get notified when you delete a playlist?

[Takarajeanne]

I have a private playlist with one other collaborator. I am the owner of the playlist. Does Spotify notify the collaborator when I delete the playlist? Does Spotify notify the collaborator when I remove them from the playlist?

Oops I meant public playlist, not sure if that makes a difference.

Hi there @Takarajeanne,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

Well, if the playlist is Public, but someone else has it saved to their Library, they might have access to the playlist for a period of time after you delete it. Just until the information is removed from the database completely. However, Spotify doesn't notify users when other users playlists are deleted.

Even if they playlist is Collaborative and you remove them, they won't be notified. But they might notice it once they try to add/remove tracks from the playlist, because they won't be able to do it.

Hope this clears things up. If you need a hand with anything else, we're always a post away!

How do u know if someone deleted the collaborated playlist? For example me and my ex bf had a shared playlist and it’s no longer on his profile but if I go to my profile it’s still there and says he’s and owner?  Did he just take it off his profile or did he delete it and it just still exists for me?
