Delete Recommendation History in Google Play Music

Delete Recommendation History in Google Play Music


Google Play Musics desktop site has a new feature that lets you delete history. At the bottom of the settings page, theres a new section called "delete recommendation history". According to Google, this "removes the history used to give you recommendations and customize radio. This will not remove ratings and play counts on individual tracks."


Google shows a long list of recommended radios and albums and you can manually remove them by clicking "not interested" for each radio and album. After using the new "delete recommendation history" feature, I expected to see that all recommendations are removed and Google will start to show new suggested albums and radios based on the songs you play from now on. Unfortunately, thats not the case: Google still shows similar recommendations.

Speaking of historical data, its surprising that Google Play Music still doesnt have a feature that shows all your recently played songs. It should be an auto playlist, just like "last added" and "thumbs up" and users should be able to export it.
