How to recover deleted playlists on Spotify
You can recover deleted playlists because Spotify doesn’t completely eliminate them when you hit “delete.” Instead, it removes the playlist from your profile, but the actual collection of songs still exists for 90 days. As long as you’re within that timeframe, here’s how to recover a deleted playlist:
- Log in to the Spotify web player and head to the Account page.
- From the menu on the left, click on Recover playlists.
- You’ll see all the playlists you deleted within the last 90 days, and you can hit Restore next to the playlists you want to recover.
- The restored playlist will appear at the bottom of your playlist collection.
If you don’t see the restored playlist, try searching for it. If it still doesn’t appear, close and restart your web browser, then log in again.
How to immediately restore a deleted Spotify playlist
If, upon immediately deleting a playlist, you realize you didn’t want to do that, you can hit Ctrl+Shift+Z on Windows or Cmd+Z on macOS to undo the action.
