Delete a station by opening its menu and selecting remove

To delete a station on Pandora, open the app and find the station you want to remove. Tap or click the three-dot menu icon next to the station name, then select "Delete Station" or "Remove Station" from the menu that appears. Confirm the deletion when prompted. The station will disappear from your list immediately.

On the web version, the process is the same: locate the station, click the three-dot menu, and choose the delete option. On mobile (iOS or Android), the menu icon appears to the right of the station name in your station list.

Deleting a station removes it from your account entirely. You cannot undo this action, but you can create a new station with the same name or artist later if you change your mind.

Key Takeaways

  • Find the station in your list, tap the three-dot menu icon next to its name, and select the delete or remove option.
  • Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, though you can create a new station with the same name afterward.
  • The process works the same way on the Pandora website, iPhone app, and Android app.
  • Deleting a station does not affect your thumbs up or thumbs down ratings on other stations.

Where to find the station menu on different devices

On a computer using Pandora's website, go to your "Stations" page. Each station appears as a tile or row. Hover over the station name or thumbnail, and a three-dot menu icon will appear in the top right corner of that station's box. Click it to see the delete option.

On an iPhone, open the Pandora app and tap the "My Stations" tab at the bottom. Swipe left on the station you want to delete, and a red "Delete" button will appear. Tap it to remove the station. Alternatively, tap the three-dot menu icon to the right of the station name and select the delete option from the menu.

On Android, the process is similar. Open the app, go to "My Stations," and long-press the station you want to delete. A menu will appear with the option to delete. You can also tap the three-dot menu icon next to the station name.

What happens after you delete a station

Once you delete a station, it vanishes from your "My Stations" list and you will no longer receive notifications or recommendations from that station. Any custom stations you created based on a song or artist will be gone, but your thumbs up and thumbs down history remains in your account.

If you delete a station by mistake, you will need to create a new one. You can do this by searching for an artist or song and selecting "Create Station," or by using the search bar at the top of the app and choosing the artist or song you want to base the new station on.

Difference between deleting and pausing a station

Deleting a station removes it completely from your account. Pausing a station (if that option is available in your version of Pandora) temporarily hides it from your list but keeps it saved. Not all versions of Pandora offer a pause feature, so deletion is often the only way to remove a station from view.

If you want to keep a station but do not want to listen to it right now, you can simply avoid clicking on it. Your station list will remain unchanged, and you can return to it anytime.

Deleting stations created by other users

If someone shared a station with you or you subscribed to a public station created by another Pandora user, you can remove it from your list the same way: tap the three-dot menu and select delete. This removes the shared station from your account but does not affect the original creator's station or other listeners.

Shared stations appear in your "My Stations" list just like stations you created yourself, so the deletion process is identical.

Managing your station list to stay organized

If you have many stations, deleting the ones you no longer listen to can make your "My Stations" page easier to navigate. Pandora does not limit the number of stations you can create, but a long list can make it harder to find the ones you use most.

Consider deleting stations you have not listened to in several weeks, or ones that no longer match your music taste. You can always create new stations later based on artists or songs you discover.
