My Question or Issue

For some reasons I have 100s of liked full albums in my library. Is there an easy way to mass unlike them all? I never like a full album and I don't know how this happened.

I have used Last.fm in the past and have revoked its access in case thats where the problem is.

It is pretty critical since my Discover Weekly and Release Radar are **bleep** compared to my taste. I have had this problem for a while but only now discovered the cause.

Hey @thomasjespersen, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

There are indeed two ways to remove an album, added by accident to your Liked Songs.

On a mobile device, you can go to the album and then click the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the app. The context menu will appear with the option to like or unlike all songs.

On a desktop you can either Heart/Unheart all songs from the album view or remove multiple entries from the Liked Songs playlist by selecting them with Ctrl/Shift + click, right-clicking, and selecting Remove from your Liked Songs. 

If you'd like to see the multiple select functionality extended onto the mobile app, you can consider adding your +VOTE to this idea. 

Hope this helps!

If I shift click an album nothing happens. Everything in the left panel is not shift or ctrl clickable.

Hey @thomasjespersen,

Thanks for the reply! To confirm, are you wanting to remove songs from an album or remove entire albums in Your Library?

Keep me posted.

OK, I have 4,000+ songs liked in Spotify, and when I follow instructions for Windows 11 (Ctrl+A, right click to clear all likes) it responds "Something went wrong".

Any ideas

Hey @mijas1999, thanks for your post. 

You may have to start by sections at a time, because that may be due to different computer and software limitations. If you try to select a few songs and that error message still appears, please let me know the make and model of your device, and a screenshot of the message, if possible, so I can take a closer look. 

Thanks!
