FAQ
Does cancelling Spotify delete my playlists?
No. Your playlists and library stay on the free account; you just lose offline downloads and ad-free playback.
Still being charged?
If Spotify Premium won’t let you cancel, send a certified cancellation letter (it’s legally binding), then dispute the charge with your bank and file an FTC complaint.
