I downloaded the SpanishDict application on my Samsung Galaxy S4 and it downloaded a bunch of music files, how do I get rid of them, without getting rid of my music?

Have you tried uninstalling the app? - NikkiLR, Apr 2, 2014

FAST:

NikkiRivera's solution, uninstalling the app, was the option I had to go with. It's sad because I'd love to have the app on my phone, but it's extremely annoying with the shuffle feature on my music player.

ADVANCED:

If you're up for an adventure, most phones support adding a .nomedia file to the directory to hide the files from your music app. If you can find the folder SpanishDict's audio files are located in, using Astro (or similiar app) create an empty file named .nomedia not .nomedia.txt in that folder.

To the SpanishDict Team:

I develop Android apps. Check out this StackOverflow post to learn how to hide these files from other apps. The thread is specific to images but should work for audio files too.
