How do I Remove a Duplicate Playlist?

[Annie_M]

I am trying to get rid of a playlist. I had two playlists called "Driving". With the exception of one song, they were almost duplicates. I finally figured out how to delete one off my iPhone, but it's still showing up on my iTunes, even after syncing. It's really not a big deal, but it's like a loose thread that I can't seem to leave alone! So, any suggestions are most welcome!

Re: Duplicate Playlist

Have you tried deleting the playlist from within iTunes via your Mac, if applicable?

Thanks for responding! I do not have a Mac, but I have a PC, on which I've been unsuccessful in deleting the "duplicate" list.

Should be fairly similar for iTunes for PC, here's that doc...

Thanks for moving the thread... I realized that I didn't post it in the proper location!

I have the list highlighted, but when I press the delete key, nothing happens. I'm wondering if I have to remove each song individually...

You shouldn't have to but, you might as well give it a try at this point.

I am thinking there's something wrong with iTunes on my PC. I may try uninstalling and reinstalling....

Probably not a bad idea to hard restart the iPhone also. (either hold home and power, or volume down and power, depending on your model)

PS You were not entirely wrong starting the thread in Ask A Question, since it WAS a question after all, but we prefer to leave that section for our newest members and for guests, while seasoned members should try to categorize their threads. BUT you were definitely not wrong. I just figured it was a better fit here.
