There are a couple of things you need to know about what happens after you delete Spotify playlists. The first thing is that, once deleted, the list will completely disappear from your library, but it is being followed by other users, it will still be available to them. That’s important to understand as it means that Spotify will only delete a playlist shared by you.
If you want to delete the playlist for everyone permanently, you must delete all the tracks, the title and the cover art of it. An alternative way to prevent others from accessing the playlist is to make it private, by clicking on the three-dot menu icon and selecting the Make private option.
Also, Spotify has another function called Remove from profile, that while it does not delete the playlist, if it prevents this, it does not delete your playlist, but rather deletes it so that it is not displayed on your profile. Keep in mind that Spotify only shows public playlists in profiles and private ones will always be hidden.
