To delete a playlist on Spotify, follow these steps depending on your device:

On Mobile (iPhone or Android)

1. Open the Spotify app.
2. Tap Your Library at the bottom.
3. Find and open the playlist you want to delete.
4. Tap the three-dot icon (more options) at the top right.
5. Select Delete playlist from the menu.
6. Confirm by tapping Delete again in the pop-up window.

On Desktop (App or Web)

1. Open Spotify on your desktop.
2. Locate the playlist on the left sidebar.
3. Right-click the playlist.
4. Select Delete from the context menu.
5. Confirm the deletion if prompted.

Notes:

• You can only delete playlists that you have created. Playlists created by others can only be removed from your library by unfollowing them (removing them from your view but not deleting them from Spotify).
• Deleting a playlist removes it from your account and all devices synced to it.
• Spotify does not permanently delete playlists immediately; you can recover deleted playlists via Spotify's recovery feature if needed.
• To effectively "permanently" delete a playlist, you can remove all songs from it and make it private.

This process is straightforward and works for both free and premium Spotify users
