Signing off…

This is how you can delete an individual song or all songs from Apple Music on different devices. Again, there is a difference between removing a song and deleting a song from the library. Remove deletes the downloaded song file. Delete from Library removes the song itself from your Library, Playlists, and other devices signed in with the same Apple ID.

However, as long as you have the Apple Music subscription, any song that you remove or delete is just a few taps away from being added or downloaded again to your library. So, don't worry.
