Watched Videos On YouTube Remover

Clean up YouTube playlists by watch progress or upload date, with confirmation and visible progress.

Clean up your YouTube playlists by watch progress or upload date. YouTube's built-in playlist cleanup options are limited. Watched Videos On YouTube Remover adds two dedicated actions to Watch Later and playlists you can edit: remove videos based on watched progress, or remove videos uploaded before a date you choose. Confirm the cleanup and follow its progress directly on YouTube. KEY FEATURES • Remove videos at or above your chosen watch threshold • Keep partially watched videos in the playlist • Remove old playlist entries by video upload date • Choose the cutoff date before cleanup begins • Works with Watch Later and editable custom playlists • Automatically loads playlist entries as YouTube makes them available • Shows separate loading and removal progress • Cancel safely before the next video is removed • Confirmation before cleanup begins • English and German interface BUILT FOR CONTROL The safe default watch threshold is 100%. You can deliberately choose any value from 0% to 100%—for example, a lower value when you want videos with skipped outros to count as watched. For old playlist entries, choose “Remove videos before date.” The date defaults to one year ago and can be changed before you continue. Date-based cleanup removes matching playlist entries regardless of watch progress. Videos whose upload date cannot be recognized are kept. Press Enter to finish editing a valid date. Then activate the menu action to review and confirm cleanup. Relative upload ages shown by YouTube are rounded, so inferred dates near your cutoff are approximate. YouTube loads large playlists in batches, so processing them can take some time. The extension keeps the current loading or cleanup status visible throughout the operation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No separate account required • No analytics or tracking • No browsing or viewing history stored • No data sold or shared • Open source under GPL-3.0 HOW TO USE 1. Open Watch Later or a playlist you can edit. 2. Open the playlist action menu. 3. Choose “Remove watched videos” or “Remove videos before date.” 4.

It does not delete videos from YouTube. FREE WITH OPTIONAL SUPPORT All features are free.
