Sonos music history

Hi. I want to make a break from my past including my music. Is there a way to delete the sonos memory of what I played and what I like (my history), but not my account or music saved in my favourites. The curated "mix" selection just gives me random permutations of things I have listened to for 20 years. Ugh.

Not that I’m aware of. The only way to erase the past is to factory reset the system, which also deletes the data associated with your account, such as streaming sources, and playlists, which is all stored locally on your system, and not in any ‘cloud’ server.  It’s possible the individual streaming companies have such a ‘partial’ delete of data, but Sonos doesn’t.

Ok, thanks. I guess if you make a new start you need to be all in!

Are you talking about “Recently Played”? This has only existed for, what, 2 years? It really hasn’t got much history in there. Certainly not 20 years.

I went looking for the "curated mix" and couldn't find it, made the assumption they were talking about some streaming service's settings, not the Sonos app.
