When I try to delete doubled up songs, it removes the song completely (ios)

[nyletak]

When I make playlists, I might add one song and at a later date add the album, leading to the song being in the playlist twice. When I try to remove one of the two songs, it removes the two songs instead of one. This is quite frustrating.

I use spotify on my iphone and don’t have access to a laptop, so i’m not sure if this is a new feature across spotify or just ios.

Hi there @nyletak,

Thanks for reaching out. When did this start happening? Did it work differently before? If you remove both songs in this manner and then readd only one, does it work properly?

Let us know so we can look into this further.

It’s been like this for a week or two, only recently. It did work differently before, I could delete one of the two same songs and the other copy of it would stay. Now both copies get removed. Yes, I’m able to add the song back.

Hey @nyletak,

Thanks for the info!

As this might be cache-related, one complete clean reinstall of the app could fix it for you!
Please follow all the steps from this guide and let us know if anything changes 🙂

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

P.S. A complete clean reinstall assures that there are absolutely no leftover files from the previous installations.
Your cached data can, however, also be removed separately by following the steps here.
