Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/464

I'm currently writing a code to delete specific tracks out of a Spotify Playlist I created, and thus that I own. But somehow I am having Issues with the token, although I am using the 'playlist-modify-public' token which should allow me to delete tracks in my own playlists.
And I checked that the playlist is publicly seen since it is available under public playlists of my account.
Would greatly appreciate your help :)

I get this error message by the link in the error code:
{
"error": {
"status": 401,
"message": "No token provided"
}
}

My Code:
Spotipy_delete_tracks.txt

SpotifyException: http status: 403, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/11136043288/playlists/7LRXlpc7nL7yVF6oVTv8tH/tracks:
 You cannot remove tracks from a playlist you don't own.

In the code file I can see a 403 not a 401, which error do you actually have?

Edit: Okay sorry, the link from the error is not usable without a token, so yes you'll always get a 401 - no token provided

Then can you print the result of sp.me() and confirm your user ID is 11136043288?

@stephanebruckert thanks for the advice. I tried the sp.me() and realized that it was an issue with my account. I used to have the account with my brother and we split it up somehow.
So I made a new account and a new application and now it works :)
Thanks for the quick help 👍
