Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/524

Describe the bug
when trying to remove local tracks from a playlist, the uri is invalid
local tracks are those imported from a computer.

consider this playlist:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/58RURV6kkw77FMF2ByQIe7

To test this you will have to copy the playlist or create one yourself, because of ownership. i can make it collaborative if you like.

Your code

import spotipy
# log in
token = spotipy.util.prompt_for_user_token(
	username,
	scope=str(settings['SpotipySC']),
	client_id=str(settings['SpotipyID']),
	client_secret=str(settings['SpotipyHS']),
	redirect_uri=str(settings['SpotipyRU']))
if token:
	sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
else:
	print(f"Can't get token for {username}")

# get the playlist (which for arguments sake has no more than 100 tracks)

result = sp.playlist_tracks("58RURV6kkw77FMF2ByQIe7")
tracklist = result["items"]
while result['next']:
	# this is in case the playlist is bigger than 100 items
	result = sp.next(result)
	tracklist.extend(result['items'])
tracks = [] # these tracks are in the spotify database and have an id
local = [] # these tracks only exist in playlists and are on your local hard drive
for x in result:
	if x["is_local"]:
		local.append(x["track"]["uri"]) # local tracks don't have an id so one will need to provide the uri
	else:
		tracks.append(x["track"]["id"])
i = int(0)
while i*100 < len(tracks):
	# again, this is in case there are more than 100 tracks to delete
	sp.user_playlist_remove_all_occurrences_of_tracks(user="raiden_e", playlist_id="58RURV6kkw77FMF2ByQIe7", tracks=tracks[(i*100):((i+1)*100)])
	i += 1
i = int(0)
while i*100 < len(local):
	sp.user_playlist_remove_all_occurrences_of_tracks(user="raiden_e", playlist_id="58RURV6kkw77FMF2ByQIe7", tracks=local[(i*100):((i+1)*100)])
	i += 1

Expected behavior

The playlist should be completly empty, in any case, whether it contains local and/or public tracks

Output

Exception has occurred: SpotifyException

JSON body contains an invalid track uri: spotify:track:265

This does look like an invalid track URI, as if it was truncated. Can you share the full track URI that blocks your script?

I see you are generating track ids? tracks=local[(i*100):((i+1)*100)])

Track uris cannot be invented, they must match to real track uris?

tracks=local[(i*100):((i+1)*100)] this is to chop up all uri's into chunks of 100, since spotify API limits 100 uris per request. It works with official tracks on spotify so i guess the splice-syntax should be correct
