Want to know how to delete songs from iPod / iPod Touch? Many iPod users find that it is not easy to delete songs that they do not listen to any longer. So, they keep on adding new songs reducing the storage of the iPod drastically. Finally, they would be left with no space at all for adding new songs. Now they have no other option than to delete music from iPod, which they do not want anymore. If you belong to this class of iPod users, then you would be wondering how to remove songs from iPod? Don't worry. This article will show you the right way to remove the songs you don't want with the help of Aiseesoft FoneTrans.

It is a well-known fact that it is easy to sync music to your iPod from a computer. But the removal of songs is not such an easy task as syncing music. This is especially true if you are using an older version of iPod such as iPod shuffle, iPod Nano, etc. iPod Touch users can delete songs from their device without connecting the device to a computer. But the deletion can be done only one at a time. So, if you have a lot of songs to remove, this type of deletion will take a long time and is not a feasible method. Aiseesoft FoneTrans is the easiest and best way to delete all the music files you want to remove from your iPod/iPod Touch. Let us see how to delete music from iPod:

When it comes to knowing about how to delete music from iPod, you have numerous options to consider. However, we have done the research on the best options and made the job easier for you. Here are the best three methods that help you to delete music from iPod.

Method 1: Delete music from iPod Touch by a direct method. Available for iPod Touch only

iPod Touch is created to support all types of deleting or editing of the music files you have saved in the device. If you want to do a direct removal of songs from iPod Touch, here are the simple instructions to follow. The steps are given based on the iOS version the iPod Touch works on:

Steps to delete in iPod Touch with iOS 8.3 and prior versions:

Step #1
Go to the Music app on your iPod Touch. Choose, ‘Songs' option present at the end.

Step #2
Browse through the song selection and select the songs that you wish to remove. Slide to the right side until you come upon the ‘Delete' option.

Step #3
Click on, ‘Delete' option and confirm.

Steps to delete in iPod Touch with iOS 8.4 and later versions:
