How to Delete Podcasts from Your iPod Nano/Shuffle/touch

Let’s take look at these three ways to delete podcasts from iPod:

Method 1: Free Way to Delete Podcasts from iPod Shuffle/Nano/touch Easily
Method 2: How to Delete Podcasts from iPod with iTunes
Method 3: How to Delete Podcasts from iPod touch
Method 4: How to Stop Podcasts from Automatically Downloading Episodes

1. Free Way to Delete Podcasts from iPod Shuffle/Nano/touch Easily

The best and free way to delete podcasts from iPod is with iMyFone TunesMate iOS Manager. It is an all-in-one iPod/iPhone manager which allows you to add, delete and back up files, and podcasts are included.

How to Delete Podcasts from iPod Nano/Shuffle/touch for free

Step 1: Install and Launch iMyFone TunesMate on your computer. Connect your iPod with a cable.

Step 2: When TunesMate detects your iPod, click on the “Videos” tab up on the top, then click on “Podcasts” on the left sidebar.

Step 3: Select all of the podcasts that you want to delete and then click “Delete” near the top, then confirm by clicking on “Yes.”

The great advantages to using this method over an other method includes:

You can manage a bunch of podcasts at the same time.
You can delete them all in bulk if you want.
You can easily scroll through them and find what you’re looking for on your larger computer screen.
You don’t have to handle the restrictions of iTunes or its long loading times.

2. How to Delete Podcasts from iPod with iTunes

Step 1: Plug in your iPod and launch iTunes.
Step 2: Click on the little icon that indicates your device in the top left.
Step 3: Click “Summary” if it doesn’t automatically take you to the summary page for your device.
Step 4: Tick the box next to “Manually Manage Music and Videos”.
Step 5: Now click “Podcasts” under “On My Device” from the left sidebar. Right click the podcast you want to delete and choose “Delete.”

While this method works okay, there are a few limitations to it. For one, it’s harder to select many podcasts at once to delete. It also requires you to use iTunes, which is clunky and takes a long time to load. Using TunesMate is just easier, and you can manage all sorts of other media through TunesMate, so you may as well just use this tool instead of iTunes.

3. How to Delete Podcasts from iPod touch

This way is just for iPod touch. You can delete podcasts from iPod touch directly.
Step 1: Open up the Podcast app on your iPod.
Step 2: Tap on the “My Podcasts” icon at the bottom.
Step 3: Go to the podcasts series you want to delete podcasts from.
Step 4: Find the podcasts you want to delete and slide it to the left. A red “Delete” button will appear.
Step 5: Tap the “Delete” button to make it.

While this is simple enough, a certain limitation is that it’s hard to delete large amounts of podcasts at the same time. Also, it’s not as easy to manage and view them all compared to the TunesMate method.

4. How to Stop Podcasts from Automatically Downloading Episodes

You can do this easily by changing a few things on your iPod:

Go to “Settings”.
Go down to where you see “Podcasts”.
Select “Podcasts” and go to where it says “Download Episodes”. Select “off” setting.

Besides, you can also turn on the “Delete Played Episodes” to free up space.

That’s all you have to do! If you need to delete a bunch of podcasts on iPod and you want to do it quickly and easily, download TunesMate and give it a try.
