Apple has released a tool to remove a U2 album that it downloaded to its users’ devices automatically less than a week ago.

"Some customers asked for the ability to delete 'Songs of Innocence' from their library, so we set up itunes.com/soi-remove to let them easily do so. Any customer that needs additional help should contact AppleCare." spokesman Adam Howorth told the BBC.

Some users had complained that the album, Songs of Innocence had been added to their devices without permission. Apple made the album available to about 500 million iTunes customers in 119 countries to coincide with its iPhone 6 and Watch launch event last week.
