How do I remove a playlist from my IPod classic?

by marla9 Nov 26, 2010 4:45PM PST

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find an answer - even in the manual.
I created a playlist in ITunes, then got it onto my IPod, but the songs are not in the right order. I don't see a way to re-order them on the IPod, so I want to make a fresh start.

No need to make a fresh start,

just open your copy of iTunes and find that playlist.
Arrange the tracks in the order that you want.
Attach your iPod and Sync.

The tracks on the iPod should now be in the same order as you want them.

Alternatively, you can attach the iPod, remove that playlist from the list of playlist that the iPod syncs with and that will remove the playlist from the iPod.
In iTunes, rearrange the tracks in the way you want them
Attach the iPod and set the iPod to sync with that playlist again.
OR
In iTunes, select the offending playlist, and select Edit > Delete
Choose File > New Playlist and start again from scratch
