Spotify, like other audio streaming platforms out there, has a playlist feature to compile all your favorite songs in one place. On Spotify, you can create as many playlists as you want. Also, if for any reason you want to delete your playlist, you can.

That being said, let’s delve into how you can easily delete any of your Spotify playlists:
