Clean up your
Apple Music library.

Apple Music has no undo.

Apple Music has no "Recently Deleted" like in the Photos app. Once you've deleted, it's gone. A Hezel backup is the only way to walk it back if you regret the cleanup, or remember something you wanted to keep.

What you'll need.

An iPhone with Apple Music. Hezel, free tier is enough. A Mac with the Music app helps a lot for the bulk delete; iPhone alone works but takes longer. Set aside a quiet 15–30 minutes so you don't have to leave the cleanup half-done.

Three steps. One safety net.

1. Make a Hezel backup of your current library

   Open Hezel. Tap Back Up Now. The backup captures everything in your library: songs, playlists, music videos. Done in a few seconds.

   This is your safety net. If anything goes wrong at any later step, or you change your mind partway through, you can restore from this backup and end up exactly where you started. Don't skip it.

2. Delete everything from your Apple Music library

   On Mac: open Music. In the sidebar, click Songs. Press Cmd+A to select all. Right-click → Delete from Library. Confirm.

   On iPhone alone: Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Music → Edit → tap the red minus on All Songs.

3. Restore the things you want from your Hezel backup

   Open Hezel. Find the snapshot you took in step 1. Tap it and select the songs you actually want back, then tap Restore to Library. Everything else stays gone.

   Take your time. If you change your mind down the line, the backup is still there. Restore everything and you're back where you started.

Things you might be wondering.

Take the first backup before you do anything else.

Step 1 is the safety net. Even if you don't clean up today, the backup means future-you can do it without regret.
