With Apple Music being one of the main ways to enjoy musical content on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad at this day and age, the days of storing your own music locally on your devices are slowly coming to a halt.

If you’re finding yourself using You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to remove all of your locally-stored music with juts a few taps, rather than having to use iTunes or remove the songs one-by-one via the Music app.

Deleting all locally-stored music in one fell swoop
Because it can be really annoying to go into the Music app and delete all your songs, artists, or playlists one-by-one if you have a lot of them, you might be looking for a faster and easier way to get it done. Fortunately, iOS does have a way to remove everything at once, but you won’t find it in the Music app itself.

Instead, you can follow these simple steps:

1) Launch the Settings app and open the General preferences cell.

3) Open the Storage & iCloud Usage preferences cell and then open the Manage Storagepreferences cell.

4) Open the Music preferences cell and then tap on the Edit button at the top right of the preferences pane:

5) Once you’re in editing mode, you’ll see little red deletion badges appear next to the All Songs cell. Tap on it.

6) This will reveal a red Delete button you can tap on, and tapping on it will remove all locally-stored music on your device.

That’s all there is to it! After you tap on that button, all locally-stored music on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad will be removed from your device and you’ll have all of that storage space re-claimed for anything else you want to use it for.

Tip: You can also delete individual artists instead of deleting all the songs at once, but this is a feature that can also be accomplished in the Music app itself, unlike deleting all your locally-stored music tracks.

Of course, on devices where you can’t always access an internet connection, locally-stored music may still be the better option, so keep this in mind if you live in places where you don’t have access to Wi-Fi or have flaky cellular coverage.
