Those unlink Spotify Facebook solutions mentioned above sounds pretty easy. All you have to do is to separate Spotify from Facebook. But what if you created a Spotify account using your Facebook account? In that case, open a new Spotify account is the only way to solve the problem.


There are several things you may need to aware when you open a new Spotify account:


1. Cancel your Premium subscription which you are paying for thoroughly and then re-subscribe it on the new account.


2. Make sure you are already signed out your previous account everywhere before you open a brand-new account. Or Spotify will misunderstand that you are already logged in.


3. Close your previous account completely to clean out your email address for the new account since you can't have two accounts with the same email address.

Done! Now you have deleted Spotify account on Facebook. And it should no longer share your Spotify listening history anymore.
