Wondered if anyone could help - my iphone got full so I deleted some stuff but have a few playlists I can't delete - on itunes the aren't in any categories & I can't imagine how I put them where they are - I'll attach a screen shot as it's hard to explain - but right click doesn't give a delete option & can't drag & drop them anywhere. (the problem playlists are: Dad's Army/Recently Played/The Showing up of Lance Corporal Jones/Purchased on iPhone)
have tried re-syncing, restoring etc. - to no avail. The only other thing I can think of is a complete reset which I'm not keen on as a lot of stuff I don't want to lose.

Thanks!

On your iPhone, open the iPod app. Then tap on Playlists. Are those aberrant playlists there? If so, tap on each one, then hit Delete.

A playlist is only a list of songs and doesn't really take up any space. Deleting a playlist does not delete the songs within the list.
