i can't delete a playlist

[Nothing2No1]

when I try to delete a playlist i get an error message.  this is happening on all platforms that I use the Spotify app on. PC windows 10, Android, and my Roku app.  it will not delete this playlist nor allow me to edit my playlists

I have the same problem. The playlist isn't listed in my library but I can see it under recently played and can still access it including editing. But it is listed on the recover playlists page. So maybe it will disappear after 90 days. Still a big problem because I expect it to disappear after I click "delete" even if I have the direct link to the playlist.

Hi there @Nothing2No1, @dieserniko ,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you try and delete the affected playlists in the webplayer in an incognito window? If that also doesn't work, please send us some screenshots of what exactl you see and we'd be happy to take a look.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi there,

sadly no, this doesn't make a difference. But here are some screenshots as requested: 

"My recommendation playlist" is the target. spotify:playlist:6FEdOVOnQNyC85EuO0pr1U

The screenshot is from the client, but no difference in the browser.

Trying to delete the playlist. "Something went wrong". Doesn't appear in web version

Could be unrelated, pops up on other playlists as well.

Hi there @dieserniko,

Thanks for the info. It's possible that the playlist is deleted but it got stuck in the system or on your recommendations page somehow. In any case, give it some time and the playlist should disappear, especially after it's no longer recoverable.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @Joan,

I still find it problematic that the playlist can be accessed by everyone (like my playlist mentioned before), even after a user "deletes" a playlist. There's no warning that it takes 90 days until it's really gone.

Would be nice, if the playlist would actually vanish and when trying to access it (for example via direct link), it behaves like it doesn't exist.
