How to Hide/Unhide Songs in Spotify

Under playlists, it is next to the ‘Love’ button. When you press the don’t play this button, it will hide that particular song from the playlists and then you will get a message like, “Song hidden in this list”.

    Is it possible to hide songs also on the desktop application?
    I cannot find anything like that…

      Isn’t there a hide button anywhere in the desktop version?

        I cannot find anything like that. And if I hide songs on the android application, this has no effect on the playlist in the desktop. That’s unfortunate…

    I cannot get the song that I accidently blocked on Spotify to unblock it still has the red circle with the line going sideways on it.

    This is nonsense. I’ve “hidden” hundreds of songs, only a very few show up in the library. AND they keep playing, even with the red circle showing on the right. Spotify desperately needs a NUKE button to actually get rid of a song.
