If you’re one of those that had their entire life ruined by Apple adding U2’s “Songs of Innocence” to your iTunes library for free, your life will soon be back on track, as Apple has created a tool to remove the offending album from your library.
To remove the offending U2 album, users should visit this link and use Apple’s removal tool that will automatically remove the U2 album from an account once a user has signed in with their Apple ID and password.

The album is free to everyone until October 13, 2014 and will be available for purchase after that date.”
If you’ve already downloaded the U2 songs to iTunes on your Mac or PC or to the Music app on your iOS device, you’ll need to delete them manually.
