To clear your Spotify queue on a phone, open the Now Playing screen, tap the queue icon and tap Clear. On a computer or the web player, open the queue, select Clear queue and click Yes to confirm. Both buttons only remove the songs you added yourself, so if music keeps lining up after you clear it, the rest is coming from the playlist or album you started, or from Autoplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t

Clear the Queue on iPhone or Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The steps are the same on iPhone and Android, and they follow Spotify’s Play Queue help page<\/a>. Spotify lists the mobile and tablet queue as a Premium feature, so free users may not see these controls on a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Start playing something, then tap the Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Tap the queue icon on the Now Playing screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Under Next in queue, tap Clear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Everything you added under Next in queue goes in one tap. On a tablet, the route is slightly different, because the queue opens when you tap the album artwork in the side menu. From there, Clear works the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remove One Song or a Few<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To drop a single song and keep the rest, swipe left on it in the queue. That’s the quickest fix when one track slipped in by mistake and you still want the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spotify’s mobile queue update<\/a> brought back the option for Premium users to select several songs in the queue and manage them together, which saves swiping one track at a time. Spotify doesn’t spell out the button names, and they can shift between app versions, so look for the select option on the queue screen itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Clear the Queue on a Computer or the Web Player<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The desktop app and the web player share the same queue panel and the same steps. Spotify’s help page gives this section no Premium label, which sets it apart from the mobile instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Click the queue icon in the playback bar at the bottom of the window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Select Clear queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click Yes to confirm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      That confirmation is the main difference from mobile, and it’s a useful last check before the list goes. To remove a single song instead, right-click it and choose Remove from queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Select Everything With the Keyboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If you’d rather keep your hands on the keyboard, Spotify’s keyboard shortcuts<\/a> cover most of the job. Press Alt + Shift + Q to jump to the queue, and remember that the Alt key is labelled Option on most Mac keyboards. Then press Ctrl + A on Windows or Cmd + A on a Mac to select all the songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Right-click the selection and choose Remove from queue. Spotify doesn’t list a keyboard shortcut for removing songs, so that last step stays with the mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Why the Clear Button Is Missing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The queue screen holds two separate lists, and Clear only belongs to the first one. Next in queue holds the songs you added with Add to queue. Next from holds the rest of the playlist or album you started, and its heading names that source, such as Next from: Road Trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you haven’t added any songs yourself, there’s no Next in queue list to empty, so the Clear button has nothing to act on. Everything you can see belongs to Next from, which Clear never touches. That’s the most common reason people think the button is broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On a phone, the other likely cause is your plan. Spotify lists the mobile queue for Premium, so a free account may not show the queue controls at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Empty What’s Left From a Playlist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Songs under Next from can’t be cleared with one button, but you can still get rid of the ones you don’t want. On a computer, select them, right-click and choose Remove from queue. On a phone, swipe left on each song, or select several at once if you’re on Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The faster fix is often to start something else. Playing a different album, playlist or single song replaces the Next from list with the new source.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\t<\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t

      Want your tracks to actually get streamed?<\/h3>\n\t\t

      Real listeners. Real plays. No bots, no fake streams, ever.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\tSee our Spotify services<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\n\n\n

      Stop Spotify From Refilling the Queue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      A cleared queue can fill up again once the last song ends. That’s usually down to one of three features rather than a fault, and each one has its own switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
