Spotify makes it easy to track songs you enjoy, as the Like feature lets you automatically add songs to a folder. However, you may find yourself wanting to curate your Liked Songs playlist once it’s filled with hundreds or thousands of songs.

Removing one song at a time can be tedious, but this article will teach you an easy way to unlike all songs on Spotify so you can clear your Liked Songs list.
