# Feature description:

Currently, when the user deletes the play queue (“up next”), with the delete queue button in the bottom right all songs are removed, including the currently playing song.  
I would prefer if a song is playing it would empty the queue, but keep the current song playing.

### Problem solved:

This would probably more intuitive for most users, as it makes more sense to just remove all upcoming songs and not the currently playing one.

### Brought benefits:

While it is possible to achieve the same effect by tapping on the dot menu of the currently song and selecting “Clear remaining queue”, this would offer just that tiny bit of better UX

### Other application solutions:

&nbsp;  
Is already implemented in Symfonium, just hidden in another menu

Sorry but the button does this because it’s an actual clear that also clear the saved media queue.

Symfonium supporting multiple queues makes the current behavior the wanted one, despite your specific need.

+1, an alternate mode of operation for this that leaves the currently playing track would get used by me
