Unless the settings are in iTunes, it will automatically update the iPod when you go to hook it up to your computer after you have followed the steps to delete songs and playlists automatically. If you cannot do this, you should follow the instructions for doing it the manual way.

There is a setting that can be set so that the iPod syncing preference is in iTunes. To do this, you need to connect the iPod to the computer. Open iTunes and select iPod in iTunes source list. Press the option button in far right bottom corner. The option button will not appear if the iPod was not selected in the step from above. iPod preference window appears.
