I see there is an option for deleting items in a playlist, wondering if there can be an option to delete a playlist entirely. Say I want to make a playlist of items I want to see, and when I am done to delete it. That way it can I remove as much clutter as possible and not keep playlist of stuff I don’t want to see anymore. ---

On your Plex server, there is an option to “Allow Media Deletion.” If this option is enabled, you will be able delete single items within a playlist (this deletes the actual file on your storage drive), and you will also be able to delete a playlist (this does _not_ delete the individual files - it only deletes the playlist). To delete a playlist (assuming the “Allow Media Deletion” option is enabled), do a long-press on the playlist. ---

i don’t think that “allow media deletion” is supposed to be a prerequisite for that. it isn’t an actual media file which is what that option i meant to protect. I made a bug report for it. The devs will tell me if I am incorrect. edit: just checked Apple TV and the option to delete a playlist is there even if “allow media deletion” is disabled. So think this is an oversight on Android, or a regression if it was ever there. (I don’t ever really use playlist myself so never noticed) ---

> [@BigWheel](#): > > (I don’t ever really use playlist myself so never noticed) And I only enable “allow media deletion” when I’m checking something like this, so I never noticed either. 🙂 ---

I don’t want to remove the media from the server, just the remove a full playlist I would make since I do not need it anymore. ---
