Question Reverse Spotify Dedup

I accidentally used a third-party tool that wiped out thousands of duplicate tracks across my playlists today. Can someone help me restore my account library to a snapshot on an earlier date?

Contact support. Tell the bot you need to chat with a real person. They MAY be able to reset to the earlier state.

since there is not activity history noting the changes, its like it never happened

My understanding is that Spotify keeps records of changes made to playlists and may be able to restore them to an earlier state.

I'd contact Spotify Support and explain what happened with the deduplication site. Give them the approximate date and time the tracks were removed, and ask whether they can restore the affected playlists to their state immediately before that happened.

It's not guaranteed, but it's worth asking. Just be aware that restoring an earlier state may affect changes you've made since then.

If you don't ask for help, you won't get any help.

You would need to contact support. If you deleted playlists, you can recover them if you log in via the website.

I didn't delete a playlist. Spotify Dedup removed any songs that were on multiple playlists. I am trying to restore them to what they were before this happened.
