How to Delete Ringtones from iPhone

Situation: I bought a ringtone last week but it was the wrong version. I emailed apple requesting a refund and removal of the song. I was refunded, but the song is still on my iPhone. It doesn’t show up in my iTunes under “Tones” or “Music” but I can still see and select it on my phone. I’ve tried to slide it over to delete but it doesn’t show the delete button. How can I delete it from my iPhone?

Analysis: As for ringtones, we always have some words to say about it. I want to set a song as a ringtone; I don’t like this ringtone and want to change one; I want to delete the ringtone that I don’t need anymore. In regard to deleting ringtones, iPhone users are confused about how to delete custom ringtones from iPhone. As the above user said, I can’t delete it by myself.

Solution: In fact, you can delete ringtones that you added to the iPhone through iTunes by deleting them from iTunes. But iTunes is so complicated that sometimes we can’t operate it successfully like the above user. In addition, there’s no Ringtone or Tones tab in iTunes 12.7, as Apple has removed Ringtones and App Store features in the latest iTunes version. That’s to say, if you have updated to iTunes 12.7, then you can’t delete ringtones via iTunes. To help you out, here we will recommend one easy-to-operate tool named AnyTrans to help you delete ringtones from iPhone without iTunes.
