How to delete empty playlist on iPad?

[bbchops]

I accidentally created a new playlist. It's empty, but I can't figure out how to delete it. Manual says nothing about deleting playlists. The one forum post I could find says to tap and hold down the playlist and a delete option would pop-up. Nothing happens when I tap and hold playlists on my iPad. Any suggestions?

It may depend on which device and app version you are using.

If a tap/hold doesn't bring up the delete option, try...

Swipe the list title left or right...

Also try, when viewing the playlist side-bar select EDIT (top-right)
A red circle with a white bar (kind of like a roadway "do not enter" sign appears by each playlist title.
Tap it to bring up the delete button.

When deleting a playlist that contains songs, take care. If you move the songs to trash, they will also be removed from your library and any other lists they may be in.
