FAQs
Can I remove a song from a collaborative playlist?
Yes, you can. Those who are collaborating with you on the playlist will not be notified, however, so it would be best if you let them know beforehand.
Can I remove songs from somebody else’s playlist that was already set up on Spotify?
No, you cannot. The option to remove songs from others’ playlists, including artist-curated playlists, is non-existent.
What you can do, however, is create a new playlist using all of the songs from that pre-existing playlist, and then remove the songs from the new playlist.
