Is there a way to quickly delete all songs from an iPod shuffle?

Put your iPod shuffle in the USB port, and have iTunes come up with your iPod shuffle in the source list and go to it. Then click Edit at the top of the page and click Select All, then left click on the highlighted songs and click Clear from the drop down menu. All of the songs will be deleted from your iPod shuffle.

How to delete songs or playlists automatically

Open iTunes.

Select the song or playlist you want to delete from iPod.

From the Edit menu, choose Clear or press Delete.

Click Yes if a dialog box appears. The song or playlist is deleted from iTunes.

If iPod is connected to your computer choose Update Songs on iPod from the File menu. Otherwise, connect iPod to your computer. iTunes will automatically update iPod and delete the song or playlist you deleted above.

If that doesn't work, drop it from a high spot. I can pretty much guarantee you won't have any songs left.

Easily recovers all deleted from all iPod shuffle songs, I recommended use-friendly tool, you can use third party software, Kernel for iPod Data Recovery Software. It can quickly recovers all deleted songs.
