Someone deleted songs from your collaborative Spotify playlist
Last checked
A collaborative playlist is only as safe as the people who can edit it. Spotify’s help pages confirm collaborators can add, remove and reorder tracks — and invite links get forwarded.
Stop further changes
- 1Open the playlist and tap the profile pictures under its name to see collaborators.
- 2Next to anyone who shouldn’t be there, open the menu and choose “Remove as collaborator”.
- 3Invite links are valid for 7 days — share new ones only directly with people you trust.
Get the songs back
Spotify has no history of who removed what. If the playlist still exists, Customer Support can sometimes restore it to an earlier state; otherwise re-add what you remember.
If a collaborator deleted the whole playlist, only the owner can restore it from Recover playlists (within 90 days).
