How To Clear Queue In Spotify App

When was the last time you checked your folders and queue in Spotify? Do you have extensive playlists with so many songs that you don't even remember when you liked them? If so, don't worry, we've got you covered.

In this article, we'll take you through Spotify's queue's functionality and, more importantly, how to clear it from all unnecessary tracks and playlists. If you're dreaming of an uninterrupted music flow that combines the best genres and artists, you now have a chance to make it happen.

How to Clear Your Spotify Queue

After years of using Spotify, the music you're hearing might start to veer further away from your tastes. Sure, you can delete your profile and start anew, but isn't it better to clean up the mess and leave only a few playlists with music that you love? Clearing your queue is the right way to go, and we'll show you how to do it:

Open your Spotify and go to the current playback screen.
Click on the song that's playing and click on the three-line icon in the lower right corner.
Mark all the songs you want to remove.
After you've selected all songs, click on "Remove" in the bottom left corner.
Now, your queue is empty, and you can start over.

When you start using a queue, you'll realize that adding new tracks is as easy as removing them from the list. Doing so can create a whole new musical direction and revive your profile, and here's how:

Go to the track you want to add.
Right-click on the track.
Select "Add to Queue."
If it's an album, Spotify will add all the songs to your queue.

How to Clear Your Spotify Queue on iPhone

The easiest way to use Spotify is through the mobile app on your iPhone. But when it comes to clearing your queue, Spotify doesn't allow you to remove songs in bulk. Here's how to delete a song from your queue on iPhone:

Now, if you're like most Spotify users, you have a few songs that you listen to all the time while skipping the rest. If that's the case, try to reorganize your queue playlist and change the song order. It's very frustrating when you know that you want to skip most of your tracks or albums. That's why Spotify allows you to reorganize your queue list to make the most of it.

You can rearrange the order of tracks when you tap and hold the three-line icon and drop songs wherever they make sense. Once you reorder songs by age, genre, or artist, you'll enjoy those songs a lot more. Also, your playlist will sound refreshed, and you might even discover some latest music.
