You can create up to 100 unique customized stations using the Pandora music service. Stations work like radio stations curated to your tastes. While this allows you to listen to virtually any type of music you like, it can also be overwhelming.

Learning how to remove stations from Pandora gives you more control over your music.

The instructions in this article apply to Pandora on the web, iOS, and Android.

What to Do if a Station Reappears Online

If you deleted a station, but it shows up when you access Pandora on the web, check the bookmark you use to access the site. If anything other than https://www.pandora.com appears, remove it and update the bookmark. When you reload the page, the station you deleted should be gone.

How to Recreate a Station You Deleted

You can bring back a station you deleted by creating a new station from the same song or artist you originally used to make the station. This brings back the exact station you first created, including any thumb ratings you added.

If you weren't happy with the station you originally created and want to start fresh with a new one, create a new station with a different song by the same artist.
