Remove AI-Generated Tracks from Deezer Recommendations

If AI-generated or unwanted tracks are showing up in your Deezer recommendations, you can reduce their influence by hiding or disliking them, removing them from your own playlists, and adjusting what Deezer uses to personalize listening. The exact controls can differ between the mobile app, desktop app, and web player, so use the closest available option shown on your screen.

What You’ll Need

• Access to your Deezer account on the app or website.
• The track, artist, album, or playlist you want to address, if you can identify it.
• A few minutes to review your personal playlists and recommendation controls.

Step-by-Step

1. Open the track’s options. Find the unwanted track in a recommendation, search result, album, or playlist. Tap the three-dot menu beside it, or right-click it in a desktop player. Look for an option such as Don’t recommend this track, Hide this track, or a dislike control. Deezer changes labels and available actions over time, and some surfaces may not offer a hide option.
2. Use a negative-feedback control when available. Choose the option that says you do not want to hear or be recommended the track. If Deezer asks why, select the closest accurate reason. This is the most direct way to signal that the track should not influence your personalized listening. A like or a simple skip is not the same as an explicit negative preference.
3. Check whether the artist can also be excluded. Open the artist page or the track’s options and look for an artist-level hide or dislike option. Use it only if you want to avoid that artist broadly; it may suppress other tracks by the same artist, including ones you might otherwise like. If the track is credited to a compilation or a shared artist name, track-level feedback may be more appropriate.
4. Remove the track from your own playlists. Open each playlist you manage that contains it, select the track’s menu, and choose Remove from playlist or the equivalent. Removing a song from one playlist does not necessarily remove it from other playlists, downloads, Favorites, or listening history. Repeat the check where needed. Do not choose an option to delete the whole playlist.
5. Review Favorites and saved albums. Check your favorite tracks and saved albums for the item. Remove it from Favorites or unsave the album if you no longer want it in your library. This keeps it from appearing as something you deliberately saved, though it does not guarantee that it will disappear from every Deezer surface.
6. Tell Deezer when the recommendation is the problem. If a recommendation card has a feedback menu, use its not-interested or hide control there as well as on the track itself. For a personalized mix or radio station, check that station’s menu for feedback controls. Controls may apply only to that recommendation source, rather than to all of Deezer.
7. Review personalization and listening history. Open your account or profile settings and look for privacy, personalization, or listening-history controls. If Deezer offers a way to exclude listening activity from personalization, use it for sessions you do not want affecting suggestions. Some account settings may let you clear or manage history; check the confirmation text first because clearing history can remove useful listening context and may not undo recommendations already generated.
8. Refresh and give recommendations time to update. Close and reopen the app, or refresh the web player, then check the recommendation again later. Deezer may need time or additional listening signals to adjust. If the track remains in a playlist you do not own, you may not be able to edit that playlist; use available feedback controls or avoid playing it instead.

Common Mistakes

• Assuming one removal clears every copy. A track can appear in several playlists, mixes, or saved areas. Remove it from each personal location where it is present.
• Using skip as the only signal. Skipping may be interpreted as a weak preference and does not always equal an explicit “do not recommend” choice. Use the feedback menu when available.
• Confusing an editorial playlist with a personal one. You generally cannot edit a playlist curated by Deezer or another user. You can remove it from your library, if saved, or provide feedback on individual tracks where that control exists.
• Expecting immediate, universal removal. A dislike or hide action may affect only certain recommendations, and cached screens can take time to update.
• Hiding an entire artist by mistake. Artist-level controls can affect more music than the single track you meant to exclude. Read the option before confirming.

Tips

• Use explicit feedback on the track and, when appropriate, the artist; then remove saved copies separately.
• Keep feedback focused. If you still enjoy other music from an artist, avoid an artist-wide block and target only the track.
• Review recommendations in more than one place, such as mixes, radio, and the home feed. Different sections may use different controls.
• If you are unsure whether a track is AI-generated, avoid treating a label or unusual sound as proof. Deezer’s track details or other reliable information may help, but the practical steps work for any unwanted track.
• Update the Deezer app if a control described in help or on another device is missing. The web player and mobile app may not show identical menus.

Troubleshooting

There is no hide or dislike option. Check the track’s three-dot menu, the recommendation card menu, and the artist page. If none offers feedback, remove the track from playlists you control, avoid playing it, and check Deezer’s current help information for controls available in your region or app.

The track comes back after you hid it. Confirm you are signed into the same account and that the action completed. Refresh the app and check whether the returning copy is in a different mix, playlist, or recommendation area. If it is a different version or recording, you may need to give feedback on that entry separately.

It remains in a playlist. Verify that you own or can edit the playlist, then open its track menu and remove the song. If it is a Deezer-curated or other user’s playlist, you usually cannot change its contents; remove the playlist from your library if you no longer want to see it, or use track-level feedback if available.

Your suggestions still seem affected. Check for the track in Favorites, saved albums, and other playlists, and review personalization settings. A single action may not erase past listening signals. Allow time for changes to take effect, and contact Deezer support if a control fails or your account is not saving the preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove all AI-generated tracks from Deezer at once?
No general bulk control is guaranteed. Use available track or artist feedback and remove unwanted entries from your own saved playlists individually.

Does disliking a track remove it from every playlist?
Not necessarily. Feedback can affect recommendations, but playlist contents and saved copies may need to be changed separately.

Will skipping a track stop Deezer recommending it?
Not reliably. Skipping may inform recommendations, but an explicit hide or dislike action is clearer when Deezer provides one.

Can I remove a song from a Deezer-curated playlist?
You generally cannot edit a playlist you do not control. You can avoid or unsave the playlist and use any available feedback control on the track.

Why does a hidden track still appear?
It may be a separate version, appear in another playlist, or remain temporarily in a cached recommendation. Check the account, refresh, and apply feedback to the specific entry.

Does Deezer identify every AI-generated song?
Do not assume every track has a reliable AI label. These steps let you manage music you do not want, whether or not its production method is confirmed.
