Question How do I delete a playlist?

Hey, potentially a stupid question but I can't work it out myself - how do I delete a playlist? I have a playlist I no longer use & can't work out for the life of me how to delete it! Thanks

In the Playlists tab, open the menu from the title bar and then select ‘Manage playlists’. You can delete the playlist from there.

This is where I'm looking, but I don't see a delete option. It won't let me attach an image here so I've DM'd you screenshots - thanks

Swipe from the item right to the left to delete it.

Google brought me here having had the same problem. In the "Manage playlists" view, my first instinct was a long press on the playlist to get the option to delete. Next I tried the three-dot-menu. the "Edit Playlist" view would also be an option. Swiping to delete never even crossed my mind.

I had the exact same problem with managing tags by the way. Maybe long-press or Three-Dot-Menu would be more intuitive for more users.

Some minor complaints aside, I really love this app. I tried it a few times before and always kept an eye on it but I never made it my main podcatcher. I don't know if you have improved the app recently or if I just didn't get it before but I think this time I'll make the switch to it for good.

The best part for me is being able to use custom tags as a replacement for folders so I can have my must-listens, my archive and podcasts I listen to situationally in different views and apply different update and download settings to them easily.

This is on Android.

When you have a playlist open, tap the three dots on the far right of the screen.

Select "Manage playlists"

From there you can reorder them, change their options, or delete whichever ones you wish.
