How to Bulk Delete Videos from a YouTube Playlist
YouTube's native interface only lets you remove playlist videos one at a time. If you want to clear out a playlist with hundreds of entries, that means hundreds of clicks. Wipelist adds the bulk removal functionality YouTube is missing, letting you select and delete multiple videos at once.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Log in to YouTube Studio (for single deletions)
For small playlists, go to studio.youtube.com, click 'Playlists', open the playlist, and remove videos individually via the three-dot menu. Efficient only for a handful of videos.
Connect your YouTube account to Wipelist
Sign up at wipelist.com and connect your YouTube channel via OAuth. Wipelist requests only the permissions needed to manage your playlists — no password is shared.
Open the playlist and select videos
In the Wipelist dashboard, open the playlist you want to clean. Use the checkboxes to select individual videos, or use 'Select All' / 'Select Unavailable' shortcuts to target groups quickly.
Confirm and run batch removal
Click 'Remove Selected' and confirm the action. Wipelist removes all selected videos via the YouTube API. For large playlists this takes a few seconds rather than the many minutes manual removal would require.
Remove hundreds of playlist videos in one click
Stop deleting playlist entries one by one. Wipelist's bulk removal tools let you clean any playlist in seconds.

Does Wipelist delete the actual YouTube videos?
No. Wipelist only removes videos from your playlist — the videos themselves remain on YouTube. Only the playlist entry is deleted.
Is there a limit on how many videos I can bulk-remove?
Wipelist Premium supports unlimited bulk operations. The underlying YouTube API enforces a daily quota, but standard playlist cleanup is well within those limits.
Can I bulk-remove videos from a playlist I don't own?
No. Only the playlist owner can remove videos. Wipelist only manages playlists connected to your YouTube account.
