Following these steps should help guide you in deleting all the songs you would like from your offline songs list.

What happens if I delete Spotify data files?
If you delete Spotify data files, it could have a variety of consequences depending on the type of data files being deleted. It’s important to bear in mind that many stored data files are essential for the app to work properly.
For example, if you delete a local cache file, the app would no longer be able to access local copies of songs and content. As a result, the app could experience difficulty loading and streaming. On the other hand, if you delete a playlist data file, then your locally-stored playlists would be lost or unavailable.
You can recover these locally-stored playlists by logging into the app again and re-downloading them.
