Summary

YouTube only allows you to remove all watched videos from the Watch Later playlist, not taking progress into account. Videos that have only been partially viewed will also be deleted from the playlist. For individual playlists the function is even not available at all.

★ By means of this extension, the fully viewed videos can be deleted automatically from a playlist.

★ The partially watched videos remain in the playlist and can be watched at a later time.

The extension extends the action menu by the entry "Remove completely watched videos".

"A playlist on YouTube employs a lazy loading technique, meaning that it loads content as needed rather than all at once. Therefore, this extension operates based on the entries that have already been loaded. It doesn't automatically load all entries in the playlist. For the extension to consider more videos, you would need to manually scroll down through your playlist to load more entries."

User reviews
The button doesn't appear if there are already 6 entries in the playlist hamburger button menu: show unavailable, add videos, add all to, collaborate, playlist settings, delete playlist Also, it seems like it misses videos unless you scroll back up to the top after loading the entire playlist, and on mobile browsers you can't keep scrolling down while the cleanup operation is happening. Still, this is a very helpful tool when it does work! There's just no telling when the playlist menu will or won't load 5 or 6 buttons though :/ Edit: I've tried this out both on desktop and on an android phone with kiwi browser in desktop mode, and the bug appears on both platforms. As for thr mobile site, many of the hamburger buttons don't even appear there, including the playlist hamburger button, although I'm on the lookout for an addon that can add those back since the mobile site does still load much faster... As for why I don't use the app, I like the more granular speed controls that add-ons can bring, including some other features you don't get even with a premium subscription.

You should add a feature for this to work on custom personal playlists. For example, I have a few custom playlists for specific categories that I'd like to clean up: - Watch Later Tutorials - Watch Later Coding - Watch Later Long
