Ask the iTunes Guy: Mass-deleting iOS music, tracking playlists, and an empty year

<p>
In this week’s column, I take a look at a number of questions covering the full range of iTunes conundrums. How do you mass-delete music on an iOS device? What playlist is a song in? Why aren’t my Harry Potter movies in order? And how can I find tracks where the Year tag is empty?</p><h2>Can’t delete, won’t delete</h2>
<p>
<strong>Q: I use iTunes Match and I want to delete music from my iOS device to clear up space. I can’t seem to do it from iTunes, and on my iPhone I’m only able to delete one track at a time. It there a way to delete whole albums or multiple tracks?

Swipe a track to the left, then tap Delete, to remove a track from your iOS device.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2154262/ask-the-itunes-guy-mass-deleting-ios-music-tracking-playlists-and-an-empty-year.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
