how do i delete a deleted podcast episode from my playlist?

[oseanagi]

You know how when you go to add a song to a playlist on mobile, you can see how many songs and podcast episodes are in a playlist? I added a podcast episode to my playlist a while back, but it recently got deleted. However, when I go to add songs to that playlist, it still displays the podcast as being in my playlist (87 songs, 1 episode when it should just be 87 songs), but I can't manage to delete the deleted episode from my playlist. It just bugs me that the two don't line up.

Hi there @oseanagi,

Thanks for reaching out.

If by "deleted" you mean that the podcast episode is not available anymore, then the episode will remain inside the playlist but will just be unplayable. If you want to remove it, go to the app settings on whatever device and toggle on the setting to show unavailable content. Then, you'll be able to see the greyed out episode in the playlist and can remove it from there to correct the listing at the top.

Hope this helps.

And how do i remove a deleted episodes from my playlist? I copied my playlist and added it to an empty playlist and now there are 72 episodes in my old playlist and 51 episodes in my recent playlist how can I remove them from my old playlist and how can I see which episodes got deleted?

Hey @Stellalili,

Thanks for reaching out. We've merged your posts here so we have all the info in one place.

Are the episodes still visible in the old playlist after you've enabled Hide unplayable content? If yes, send us a screenshot and try removing them from a different device (preferably a PC).

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

ls it humanly possible to actually totally DELETE an episode so that it no longer appears on any list and takes up zero space ... so aggravating😡

I turned on show unavailable content but the deleted episodes still aren’t showing up greyed out on anything. Is there actually a way to make them show up enough that we can get my playlist tallies correct again?

The episodes still aren’t visible after turning on show unavailable content. Our problem is that we want to see this unavailable content so it can be clicked on and removed totally. As of now it’s just clogging up final tallies with ghost content 😕
