Hello and welcome to my User Tip
Open Caches and delete the com.spotify.Client folder. Click the back arrow. Open Application Support and delete the Spotify folder. Then, to reinstall the app: Open Finder. Go to Applications in the sidebar menu. Find the Spotify app and drag it to the Trash. Empty Trash to delete the app. Download and install Spotify. Anyone that follows you can see what you’re listening to. If you'd like to hide your activity, you can turn on Private listening. Tip: To see who’s following you, click your name in the top right corner of the app and click FOLLOWERS. This is turning me a little bit bonkers. I can't delete (or remove) songs that show up in my Spotify Desktop client no matter what I try. I will try to explain in detail what I have tried: I have Spotify on my Mac. I have Spotify on my iPad. I have Spotify on my Android phone. For some reason, there are appox 27 songs listed in my 'Local Files.
Sometimes you have a problem with System Preferences or something related to it, like it remembering your screensaver or desktop selection, or perhaps it won't launch or launches funky.
This procedure is for deleting the 'preferences' file(s) that is located in your (hidden) User/Library folder that can resolve issues like this.
When the computer is rebooted and the associated program launched again, it recreates this file, but blank of preferences, thus since it's rebuilt it's free of problems.
This procedure also works for other programs like iPhoto or iTunes, or whatever that stores a preference file (.plist) in the (hidden) User/Library folder, the procedure is the same, just sub out the program your having problems with .plist file instead of the System Preference .plist file below.
Known preference files issues:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist (corrupted/not launching System Preferences)
com.apple.desktop.plist (corrupted/not working desktop picture changes)
com.apple.safari.plist (safari issues)
See the Steps #12 and #13 for OnyX and it's preference file checker to find other corrupted preference (.plist) files that might be causing your issues.
So we are going to delete a preference file in a hidden folder, this will only affect the preference file, not your personal files or programs.
1: Go to the Finder and select Go menu and Go To Folder
2: Now paste or type
~/Library/Preferences
3: Press GO! and a folder will appear
4: Scroll down and find

com.apple.systempreferences.plist com.apple.desktop.plist (or whatever program your having problems with)

5: There may be two of the same named file, drag the one you can to the Trash can

6: Restart the computer and open System Preferences (or problem program) and reset all your preferences again
