IOS – Cannot delete songs from iPhone

iositunes

On my iPhone I see a list of songs I cannot delete.
Here's what I tried:

  • Go to settings -> memory usage -> iTunes -> delete all music
  • Disable iTunes Match
  • Disable show all music
  • Connect to iTunes on the Mac and manually remove all synced songs
  • Swipe to delete does not work
  • The songs do not show any sort if cloud icons

iTunes shows 3.3GB of Audio on my device which I cannot get rid of.

Any other ideas what to try?

I finally fixed it by restoring from an iCloud backup. But I read that this does not seem to work for some users.

I personally think, iTunes' quality is really bad and I'm tempted to move over to Amazon's music service but I love the Apple ecosystem and they probably have other issues. Sigh.
