Before delving into how we can remove purchased music, let\u2019s talk about why you would want to do so and hopefully help point out when you wouldn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<p>1) If your iPod is full and you have more purchased songs than space available on it, this may be a reason why you\u2019d choose delete some purchased songs from your computer and keep them only on the iPod. This way, you don\u2019t have all of this extra storage space taken up by purchased music that may not get listened to as often as those other old favorites.<\/p>\n<p>2) If you\u2019re using a PC and want to get rid of any music that\u2019s purchased for legal reasons but you don\u2019t have an iPod, deleting the songs still leaves them in iTunes so they can be downloaded again from iTunes. This way there are no files left on your hard drive from those purchased music files that may cause legal issues or make it easy for someone illegally copy them.<\/p>\n<p>3) You just got a new computer and want to put all of your old music into iTunes, but you don\u2019t have enough room on this computer to store everything. So if you purchase some new songs, delete off the older ones from previous computers (as long as they were legally yours). By doing this, it allows you to move all of the old music to this new computer and then you can easily download and sync these older songs back onto your iPod.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Restore Albums to Your iTunes Purchased List<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yHUynsrLqjc?feature=oembed\" title=\"How To Restore Albums to Your iTunes Purchased List\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>4) You want to share or sell an iPod that has some purchased music on it, but want to make sure nobody puts those files onto their computer or uses those files for other purposes. By deleting the purchases from your iTunes library, you\u2019re ensuring that no one will ever be able to get access to them without a lot more trouble than they should have in order to do so.<\/p>\n<p>5) sometimes re-downloading everything is just too painful and chaotic because many of the names aren\u2019t exactly what you remember and many are duplicates. So it just seems like too much work. So to make things a lot easier, delete everything from iTunes and then quickly re-download all of your old music again as well as anything else that\u2019s recently been purchased so you don\u2019t have to organize or reorganize the songs all over again.<\/p>\n<p>6) Many people choose to keep their music stored in their iPod instead of on their hard drive for plenty of reasons including storage limits, endless backups, multiple computers without having to move files around, etc. If these are you and you\u2019re running out of room on your iPod and want more hard drive space back on your computer, deleting off some purchased music makes sense here as well because it just takes up too much room and you don\u2019t use it as often.<\/p>\n<p>7) You just got a new iPod (or iPod Touch), don\u2019t want your music to be this old, and don\u2019t feel like re-downloading everything again. As long as you sync the new device with your computer before doing anything else, all of these songs can easily still be downloaded into <a href=\"how-do-i-delete-an-old-itunes-account\/\">iTunes again if they\u2019ve been deleted<\/a> from the library. This approach allows you to work with some space on your hard drive because many people do add more music over time even though they may not delete very often. But if you\u2019re really worried about losing any purchases that have been deleted, just plug in that iPod or iPhone, right click it under Devices in iTunes, click the Summary tab, and then look for Manually manage music and videos . Then un-check the Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected checkbox. This prevents any new purchases from getting synchronized to that device which may help you sleep a little better at night knowing no one can put anything on it without your knowledge. It\u2019s also easy<\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1625292437069\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you delete purchased albums from iTunes?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In the\u00a0<strong>iTunes <\/strong>software on your <strong>PC<\/strong>, choose <strong>Music <\/strong>from the pop-up <strong>menu <\/strong>at the top left.
