Cannot delete playlist from Walkman

Hi -

Just got a Z1 compact and went to put my micro sd card from my old phone into the sony. Everything is fine except i cannot delete playlists from the My Playlists section of Walkman. The playlists have no content in them, i can't add content to them, and i can't delete them. How do i get rid of them????

Suspect they have to be on the SD somewhere but cannot find them by searching the name or the file type .m3u. Any idea how i find and delete these ghost playlists??

thanks in advance!

How is this good?

I pay $250 for a phone from Sony of all companies who cannot even include a way to clear the"Now Playing" list without clearing app data storage in Settings FFS?!

Or dear Sony customer you can delete eachand every of 300+_ songs individually! Enjoy mr customer!

Once I do as Gayfdalf say all data is rendered inaccessible from the music player on the phone. Again FFS.

Works alright, but my xperia x5 premium didnt show any media at all for 10 minutes, i think everything came back but it was slow.

I have the very same problem on the latest music app from Sony, I am just about to attempt the solution on this thread, may I ask, is it nessessary to force stop but do the rest as per the accepted solution?

Reason for asking is that I am always worried to force stop an app.

EDIT:

Ok, I looked in the Play Music app that came with the phone and I saw the three items in the playlist there, it had an option to delete and I don't see two of them now on the Music Sony app, but one still remains.

Edit:

Ok, went for it as per solution and it worked, thanks for this forum.

Strange though that the Play Music app managed to get rid of 2 of the items, I imagine that the Play Music app might have been the culprit for those two items but hey at least the solution worked and they are gone.
