If you’re a Spotify user, it’s important to keep your recently played list clean. This way, you can easily find and play the music you want without having to search through a long list of songs. To do this, open Spotify and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. This will show you a list of all your recently played songs. On the right side of this list, you’ll see a list of all your playlists. To clear your recently played list, just click on one of these playlists and it will be cleared from your memory.
This is only possible for Spotify users using the Windows or Mac desktop app. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to clear your “Recently Played” list using the mobile app or Spotify web player, but clearing the entries using the desktop app will also remove them from any linked apps (including on mobile).

If you want to clear your “Recently Played” list, start by opening the Spotify app on your PC or Mac. In the left-hand menu, click the “Recently Played” option.
In the “Recently Played” menu, you’ll see a list of your previously played songs, albums, and artists.
Hover your mouse over one of the listed covers to view the available settings. You can play the music again, add it to your “Liked Songs” list, or remove the items completely.

To remove the item from your “Recently Played” list, click the three-dot menu icon.
In the options menu that appears, click the “Remove From Recently Played” option.
Once the button is clicked, the item will disappear from the “Recently Played” list. This will also remove the item from other Spotify devices linked to your account, including on mobile devices.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to clear the “Recently Played” list in one go, so you’ll need to repeat these steps to erase each entry.
