https://community.spotify.com/forum/en/discussion/comment/7357119#Comment_7357119 Hey @patthedog , Thank you for reporting this and for the additional info! On my end the episodes disappeared when I de-selected and re-selected the setting from the mobile app. Could you try doing the same? If this doesn't help out, we can try some troubleshooting instead - see if clearing the cached data on your device would make a difference. Log out of the app and back in twice in a row after this to trigger a manual sync of your settings and data. In case the issue remains - see if going for a complete clean reinstall of the app would change things for you. Should the behaviour of Your Episodes remain the same, let us know what your device is, as well as its OS version and your Spotify app version . Hope this helps! We'll be on the lookout for your reply 🙂

Hey folks, We've been getting reports that the setting to remove finished episodes from the Your Episodes list no longer works for podcasts that have been downloaded either manually or via auto-download. Streamed episodes are still removed from Your Episodes as expected.

We can confirm that we've passed this on to our tech folks so they can have a closer look. We'll let you know as soon as we have any news to share, but it'd be great if anyone who's affected can send us the requested info in the meantime so we can forward it as well.
