How to Delete U2 Album from Your iPhone

As Tasia Custode reports, Apple is finding out the hard way that free is not always best. But have no fear, you can indeed rid your iPhone of a certain unwanted album.

Following the Apple Event on Tuesday, iPhone users began noticing U2's latest album in its entirety sitting in their iTunes accounts (depending on their settings). While the album can be easily deleted off a desktop, removing it from mobile devices has proven to be quite the task.

For Apple customers that don't have their iTunes account set to automatically download content to their devices, they'll still notice the album, "Songs of Innocence" sitting in their iCloud accounts waiting patiently to be downloaded.

Of course the offer of a free gift would have been nice had it been left up to Apple customers to make the choice to download U2's first album in five years. Many are complaining Apple has breached their privacy by pushing unwanted content directly to all their users.
