Use this method to reset Groove Music if you’re having issues or if your collection is a mess.
Groove Music is now the default music player app on Windows 10, allowing you to listen to music from your PC, OneDrive, and the Store’s large music library. You can even use Cortana to control your music with voice commands on Groove.
The app has matured as Windows 10 has progressed, and Microsoft has added a slew of new capabilities. However, as with any software, you may experience some issues from time to time. It’s possible that your collection has become so large that it’s now a jumble, that you have a lot of playlists you don’t listen to, or that the Groove Music app on your device isn’t working properly.
Thankfully, there are a few options for reorganizing your music library and resolving any issues you may encounter while using the app on Windows 10.
To fix any issues, follow the steps in this Windows 10 guide to reset your cloud collection or the Groove Music app locally on your device.
