How to Remove an Artist from YouTube Music
If you’re a fan of YouTube Music and find that certain artists are cluttering your playlists or recommendations, you might be wondering how to remove them. Removing an artist from YouTube Music is a straightforward process that can help you curate a more personalized listening experience. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to effectively remove an artist from your YouTube Music library.
Step 1: Access Your YouTube Music Library
To begin the process, open the YouTube Music app on your smartphone or tablet. If you’re using a computer, navigate to the YouTube Music website. Once you’re logged in, you’ll be directed to your personalized home screen, which features your playlists, recommended tracks, and more.
Step 2: Locate the Artist’s Page
Scroll through your library or use the search function to find the artist you want to remove. You can search by typing the artist’s name in the search bar at the top of the screen. Once you’ve located the artist, tap or click on their name to open their page.
Step 3: View and Manage Playlists
On the artist’s page, you’ll see a list of playlists that feature their music. To remove the artist from your YouTube Music experience, you need to delete any playlists that include their tracks. Tap or click on the “Playlists” tab to view the playlists.
Step 4: Delete Playlists
Next to each playlist, you’ll find a small “More” icon (three dots) or a “Delete” button. Tap or click on this icon or button to reveal a menu with options. Select “Delete” to remove the playlist from your library. Confirm the deletion if prompted.
Step 5: Remove Artist from Recommendations
If you want to prevent the artist from appearing in your recommendations, you can do so by adjusting your preferences. Go to the “Settings” menu in the YouTube Music app or website, then navigate to the “Music Library” or “Recommendations” section. Look for an option to manage or filter your recommendations and select it. From there, you can uncheck the box next to the artist’s name to remove them from your recommendations.
Step 6: Clear Cache and Data
After completing the above steps, it’s a good idea to clear the cache and data for the YouTube Music app. This ensures that any lingering references to the artist are removed from your device. To clear the cache and data, go to your device’s settings, find the YouTube Music app, and select “Storage & Cache” or “Storage.” Then, tap “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data.”
By following these steps, you can successfully remove an artist from YouTube Music and create a more tailored listening experience. Enjoy your curated music library!
