  the album or song is not available. Even going

• Deleting music on iPhone should be very simple,
  the users only need to swipe the screen from
  right to left and tap the Delete button to
  remove the song from their iPhone. However, after
  updating to iOS 8, many iPhone users find
  difficulty in deleting music. Actually, not only
  in deleting music, but also deleting other media
  files are not easy.
• At this moment, users can try to reset their
  iPhone to fix the problem. Resetting iPhone wont
  lead to any data loss in your iPhone, and you
  only need to hold the Sleep/Wake button and the
  Home button at the mean time until you see the
  Apple logo. After that, you can try to delete
  music on your iPhone again.
