Interesting "Find the Playlist File" Challenge

Ok so I have started to play with iSyncr in an attempt to get my music from my iTunes onto my Android. Yay! We nerds love to mess with our apps...

Now I am also attempting to get C25K (a jogging app) to display the CORRECT number of playlists that I have imported to the phone.

The problem is that it is detecting an old CHUCK SOUNDTRACK playlist, which has zero songs in it, from somewhere and I have no idea where.

Does anyone know of a way to delete this phantom playlist or find it on the phone itself through explorer and delete it?

NOTE: According to Google Play Music I have ZERO playlists or songs on the phone so this is a phantom file from somewhere that maybe I deleted incorrectly? I have tried clearing the "c25k Free" cache to see if that would fix it but it does not which tells me that there is a physical file somewhere on the Nexus 5 that needs to be deleted?

That is an example of what I mean. That playlist is empty. Google Play Music doesn't see it and when I click on it in c25k it doesn't show any songs. Where would something like that be stored/cached so I can delete?
 
Now I've done it with a 2nd Playlist and I have no idea how I did it or where the heck that data is stored so I can clear it out.

I really wish Google would get something put together like iTunes that would allow EVERYONE (that means not people located physically in the United States) to be able to manage their music like iTunes does. This is my only complaint with the N5 (and Android in general)
