Unwanted Artist Recommendations Despite Settings

Hello,
I do not want to listen to certain artists.

I have already selected that they should not be recommended to me, yet they still appear in albums suggested to me. I did not have this problem with Spotify.

Having to click “dislike” every time is not a good solution for me.

Is this a permanent issue, or is there a way to fix it?

      Hi ​@1r1n4 !

       

      Option "Don't recommend this artist" only prevents the artist from being recommended .
      Blocking an artist for recommendations does not automatically purge their music from your saved library, playlists, or liked songs. You must go to those playlists or your liked songs and delete the tracks manually.

        Thank you!
        Manually handling every single case is not a good solution.
        Is there any way to permanently block those artists?

            I know that manual removal is not a good solution, but unfortunately at the moment it is the only option.
