I want Amazon music on my Echo. Instead of has gone on my Fire tablet and now I don’t know how to delete it. The music is playing all the time on my tablet and I can’t stop it.

NO- I Rewrote the offline music to my SD card, but the Kindle now rejects the new order and declares some songs missing! I should be able to clear the entire Kindle internal list, install a fresh card and have the device re-create all the songs. This is ridiculous.

I am trying to remove multiple songs from my Kindle Fire HD. They are loaded directly on the tablet, not on the cloud. How can I delete them without doing it one song at a time?

This did not work for me. Followed the instructions to the letter but the ,video is still on the Fire tablet. I can remove it from the carousel on the Home screen but still available in the Video screen. Restarted it, same thing. What the heck, Why is it so difficult? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Charlie says
Thank you! Wish Kindle made it easier to remove movies by having that option at the start instead of having to go to the Amazon account.
Appreciate the information.
