How to Delete Unwanted Music from Your Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies

Depending on the source, you have two ways to deal with unwanted music in the Play Music app's library on your Samsung Galaxy tablet. The method you use depends on whether or not the song is stored directly on the tablet:

For music stored on the device, simply locate the song or album and touch the Menu icon. Choose the Delete command. Touch the OK button to remove the song. And voila! The song is no longer on your tablet!
If you don't see a Delete command on the menu, the song is available only through Google Play Music. To remove the song, log into Google Play. View your library to locate the song. Click the Menu icon by a song and then choose the Delete command. Click the Delete Song button to confirm.

Now that you've cleaned up your music library, it's time to add some new tunes!

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
