Delete All Your SoundCloud Likes at Once

Everything you've ever liked on SoundCloud is public, in order, one scroll away from anyone who opens your profile. Redact removes likes in bulk, either the whole history or only the ones that match your filters. Preview lists the batch first, so nothing comes off until you have read it.

Free for your last 30 days of tracks, likes, comments & reposts.

A month's worth of likes costs nothing to undo, whatever plan you're on. Going back further is a Premium job.

Why clean up your likes

Your likes are public until you remove them

Anyone who opens your profile can scroll everything you've ever liked, back to your first week on SoundCloud. You probably never meant to publish the list, and SoundCloud never clears it for you.

Old likes don't represent you now

A like you tapped on a meme remix in 2016 sits on your profile with the same weight as the artists you follow today. Clearing the older likes leaves a list closer to what you listen to now.

A likes list is a listening history

Read in order, your likes show what you were into and when, going back years. It is the most detailed thing on the profile and the least deliberate.

Removing a like can be undone

Removing a like is reversible, which a track deletion isn't, because you can like the track again later by hand. Likes are the easy first pass when you're tidying up a profile.

Removing likes by hand takes hours

Removing a like by hand means finding the track and tapping the heart again, one track at a time, through years of history. A few thousand likes can take an evening or two, and SoundCloud has no select-all.

What this feature does

Remove the whole likes list, or only specific part of it

Redact pages through your likes from newest to oldest and queues the ones that match. Leave the filters blank and the whole list comes off. Set a relative range such as older than two years, and the older likes come off while your recent listening stays.

  • Keywords read the title of the track you liked. You didn't write those titles, so choose keywords from the music, such as a genre word, a remix tag, or a track title.
  • Any liked track whose title contains a preserve keyword is skipped.
  • Likes have their own checkbox, so your uploads, comments, and reposts aren't part of the run.
  • Whole likes history
  • Filters on the track's title
  • Preview before removing
  • Runs on your device

Narrow the scope of removals

Scope a likes run by date or by the track's title

Leave the filters empty and Redact queues the whole list. Set a date range, a keyword, or both, and only the likes that match go in.

By date range

Set absolute dates or a rolling window such as older than two years, so the older likes come off and your recent listening stays.

By the liked track's title

The keyword filter reads the title of the track you liked, so you can clear one genre phase or one track name on its own. Matching is on whole words, and there is no filter on the artist.

Titles to preserve

Add the tracks you want to keep liked. A preserve match always beats a delete match, so those likes survive the run.

Likes only

Check Likes and leave Tracks, Comments, and Reposts unchecked, and Redact queues nothing else on the account.

How the run works

Preview, delete, review, or schedule

Preview Mode

Redact lists exactly which likes match your filters and removes nothing.

Deletion Mode

Redact removes every like that matched in one run, and the total counts down as it works.

Review and Delete

Redact stops on each liked track and waits, which is how you keep the handful you still stand by.

Schedule Deletion

Redact reruns your filters on the schedule you choose, so new likes that match your rules come off on the next pass. Scheduling is a Premium feature.

Step-by-step guide

How to clear your SoundCloud likes

  1. 1

    Download Redact for free

    Install Redact on your computer. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Deleting content from the last 30 days is free on every plan, and reaching further back into your history needs Premium.

    Download for your device →
  2. 2

    Connect your SoundCloud account

    Open Redact, pick SoundCloud, and log in. You sign in on your own device, and Redact talks to SoundCloud directly from there. Your login never passes through a Redact server.

  3. 3

    Pick Likes as the content type

    In easy mode, tap Likes and choose a date range. In the Advanced form, check Likes and leave Tracks, Comments, and Reposts unchecked so they stay out of the run.

  4. 4

    Set your filters and preview

    Add a date range, keywords, or neither. Keywords here match the title of the track you liked rather than anything you wrote. Preview lists every like that matches, so you can check the batch before anything is removed.

  5. 5

    Run it, or put it on a schedule

    Start the deletion and watch Redact work through the queue, or save the filters as a schedule so likes keep coming off as they age into your rules.

Your listening history stays on your device

Redact reads and removes your likes on your own device and talks to SoundCloud directly. What you listen to is never uploaded to a Redact server, never logged, and never used for anything other than the run you asked for.
