Apple has created a tool which allows you to remove U2's new album from your iTunes account should you wish to do so.

It’s just six days since the US tech firm gave away Songs of Innocence for free and now some users have complained that it had been automatically downloaded without their permission.

It had not been directly apparent to many of the account holders how to delete the tracks from their device.

Apple is now providing a one-click removal button.

"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.

Users who remove the album and do not download it again before 13 October will be charged for the 11 tracks if they subsequently try to add them again.

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.
