Hi there! I'm Sarah, a tech enthusiast and a big fan of podcasts. I've been using iPhones for years and have explored all its nooks and crannies, especially when it comes to managing podcasts. I've come across many questions about how to delete podcasts, and I'm here to give you a comprehensive guide on doing just that.

Let's break down the different ways you can delete a podcast from your iPhone:

## Method 1: From the Library

This is the most straightforward way to delete a podcast you no longer want in your library:


1. Open the Podcasts app: Find the purple icon with the white waveform and tap it.

2. Go to Your Library: At the bottom of your screen, you'll see a tab that says "Library." Tap it to access your list of podcasts.

3. Find the Podcast: Scroll through your list of shows or use the search bar at the top to locate the specific podcast you want to delete.

4. Swipe Left: Once you've found the podcast, gently swipe your finger from right to left across the podcast's title. This will reveal a red "Delete" button.

5. Tap Delete: Tap the red "Delete" button. You'll get a pop-up asking you to confirm your choice.

6. Confirm Deletion: The pop-up will give you two options: "Delete" or "Cancel." Tap "Delete" to remove the podcast from your library.

## Method 2: From the Show Page

If you want to delete a podcast while browsing its details, you can do so directly from the show's page:


1. Open the Podcasts App: As before, locate and open the Podcasts app on your iPhone.

2. Go to Your Library: Tap the "Library" tab at the bottom.

3. Select the Podcast: Find the podcast you want to remove and tap on its artwork or title. This will take you to the show's page.

4. Tap the Three Dots: In the upper right corner, you'll see three dots. Tap on them to open a menu.

5. Choose "Delete Show": Scroll down the menu and select the "Delete Show" option.

6. Confirm Deletion: The app will ask you to confirm if you want to delete the show. Tap "Delete" to proceed.

## Important Notes:

* Deleting vs. Unsubscribing: It's crucial to understand that deleting a podcast from your iPhone is different from unsubscribing. Deleting removes the show and all downloaded episodes from your device. Unsubscribing simply stops new episodes from downloading, but your existing downloaded episodes remain.
* Managing Storage: If storage space is a concern, you can adjust your download settings within the Podcasts app to automatically delete played episodes or limit the number of episodes stored for each show.
* Apple Music Integration: If you manage your podcasts through Apple Music, the steps might slightly differ. Look for similar options like "Remove..." or "Delete from Library."

Deleting a podcast from your iPhone is a simple process, and these two methods offer you flexibility based on your preference. Remember to choose the method that suits your needs best and manage your podcasts efficiently!
