- This is an absolutely awesome extension. I would give it a rating of 17 out of 5. There are multiple videos on YouTube purporting to tell you how to delete all your comments at once, I watched them all, and the comments all say the same thing: You lied! You didn't show us how to do it! The reason is obvious: it isn't part of the YouTube functionality to let you do it all at once. You have to delete them one by one and for people with years of comments who suddenly decide they don't want some of their juvenile ranting on the internet any longer, that can be literally thousands, even tens of thousands of individual deletions. I did find a hack at one point - if you delete a lot of them in a sequence, one by one, eventually they're all gone, even the ones you didn't delete, but that didn't always work plus how many is "a lot"? I never knew. It still took me a long time to get enough deleted that the magical thing would just happen. Sort of. Sometimes. Then I found this thing. OMG, total solution, total game changer, totally works. I hope it's always available. You click a large button "navigate to comments" and it takes you there. Then you turn it loose. It can only delete one at a time, but it's automatic, so you can start it up and however long it takes, an hour, a day, a week, it will chew through all of them eventually. Years of them. One interesting thing: you can launch multiple instances of it, so at one point I had literally ten of them going at one time thinking it would speed things up. But somehow it doesn't. they're all deleting the same ones multiple times, I don't know why or how, but they're all more or less atl the same point just chomping away. On the other hand, when I used to delete a lot by myself, I'd often have to do it two or three times. I'd finish all of them, refresh, and like 30% of them were still there, so I would do it all over again. With my multiple instance approach that didn't happen. Done was done. I think this is a marvelous tool to have. I happen to prefer to delete all my comments at the end of every few days a few months at most, and now instead of a large task, I turn this thing on and just let it run. I don't have to stay on that screen, it just chews through them one by one with a quiet determination that is absolutely fantastic. It went through years of an older account I'd forgotten about, it took a few hours, but I didn't care. Because I didn't have to do anything so a few hours or instantly are really the same thing. This really is exactly what I hoped it would be. 100%. Ok, I just read some of the other reviews. How odd that people say it works slowly. So what? Seriously, what is the rush? You turn this thing on and it is going to pulverize every single comment you ever wrote even if it's 50,000 comments. Unless there is some immediate risk or danger to having them up, why does it matter if it takes twenty seconds or three days? It has to go to each one, it can't just force the YouTube interface to work at a speed it isn't designed to work at. I'm just glad YT allows this. As far as "you have to leave the tab open, you can't play a game" etc., not my experience at all. I can have ten tabs running this thing at the same time, at least nine of them not on the screen, just running in a tab I'm not viewing at that moment, and it didn't change or slow down when I did other things. At one point I got carried away and ran a LOT of instances of it. And while that went on I was using my computer completely normally in other ways doing other things. Didn't change anything at all. It's like a Roomba cleaning a massive convention space - if there's a rush, it's no good. But imagine a Roomba with an unlimited - somehow - capacity for holding what it vacuumed. A Roomba like that could vacuum a space the size of an entire mall or airport given enough time. That's what this thing is like. It's slow, yes, but eventually every single comment is gone, effortlessly.

- I’m so thankful for this, and even though it’s slow, I can’t give it a lower rating because it means the world to me—I can’t delete comments one by one. Just make the tab smaller and leave it open; It must be that way, or it will stop deleting comments if you play a game, or open anything else in full screen, or minimize it. Keep it open, and it will eventually delete every single one of your YouTube comments.
- Vladimir Heidenreich
- extremly slow
- A C
- I deleted 13 years of comments, took me almost 2 hours. Works, but it's slow and you have to keep the tab open. 5 stars though.
- P J
- Doesn't work at all You can only delete YT comments by manually going to the video and deleting it yourself this only acts like it's deleting stuff in your google activity feed, but not even that works
- sir miss_alot
- seems to work like others say yes its slow it seems to stop if you move to a different tab you can split screen the tabs left and right then it keeps working best bet would be run this while you dont need pc over night ect
- Ghost
- Successfully removed probably about 20 thousand comments since 2009, developer is a legend and needs to add a buy me a coffee feature, without this extension Google, the mafia of data, made sure it was untenable. I didn't want to delete these for any particular reason, I only ever commented positively however they just simply didn't need to exist anymore on these very old videos and as I've digitally minimised overall it's provided great peace of mind. With governments increasingly overreaching onto our digital lives with relentless legislation being approved on a daily basis, I am withdrawing my consent by withdrawing digitally completely. Zero digital footprint.
- J. Collins
- Yep. It does exactly what it says, nice and easy. Shame it's bottlenecked by Google's servers, though. As someone who's been using YouTube since 2006, well... yeah. That's a lot of comments.
- John Subrea
- Takes a while but thats googles fault. Also, a feature that can be added is "Delete oldest to newest & Delete newest to oldest".
- Matthew Scallorn
- works as intended
- Patrick Star
- NOT WORKING!
- Tetra Grammaton
- actually worked. Just be aware that the speed is based on how long it takes to delete a single comment on the youtube server.
- The Sim Architect
- It works! Thanks a lot! I feel that my previous comments are useless, so I am erasing all of them! 🎃🍵🎃🍵🎃🙏🏻
- Peace is Jesus Christ
- So thankful! I'm sad and even a bit bummed to delete all of my comments, but for a number of reasons, commenting on YT has become too difficult & time-consuming (censorship being the worst), whether on PC or the app, and with AI so rampant & sophisticated now, I couldn't help but wonder if I was wasting my time replying to bots. I just wanted to be done with commenting & receiving replies, and I didn't want people wasting their time replying to my comments if I wasn't going to answer. I was thrilled when I found this extension, as it solves *all* of this. I am leaving it open in a small window (it stops deleting if I minimize it completely). Thank you very much to the creator!! I greatly appreciate you! ❤️
- Do Not Obey In Advance
- I don't think this is working. When I click on "delete all comments" it just brings up a magnified version of the 4 squares and won't let me select an option and doesn't show if it's working or give any kind of message that the process has started. Bummer.
- Leon
- Worked perfectly, slowness is caused by the page, not the tool.
- Gin Mador
- great but too slow
- Koolraid
- Did not work. Deleted every last comment, and when i came back they were all there. Wasted 30 minutes
- JanSeliv
- Works like a charm
- Miranda C
- Takes a long time, but it's working! I'm glad to be able to delete cringey comments I left as a 12 year old lol
- Niks
- works,letting it run at the moment.It is slow but that is youtube's fault
- Darrel Marks
- It works. It's slow & you need to leave it on over night and not touch it. But it works great!
- Security Boy122
- Works perfectly.
- Jake Diaz
- Slow but still works which is all it matters even if I have to leave my PC turned ON all night and day.
- Google User
- As of Oct 15, 2024. It no longer works. It was great at one time, not anymore.
- K
- Worked like a charm. Deleted probably 8000 comments in about 10 hours. It's not the software's fault. It's youtube's fault. Anyways, works great. Thanks for making this.
- Y3Kv Bv
- It does delete. Slowly one by one - limit by the website. If it's so hard to delete then it should be deleted. You also have to have the page visible in browser or else the extension cannot do its job. Probably limit of the browser. It can delete Comment, Live Chat and Community Post history.
- Elitist Sleet0
- Finally, I can delete all my terrible comments on YouTube. 10/10
- Dominik Szczepan
- Very very slow work :< Manualy be faster...
- Lily Smyth
- It took about 30mins but got the job done :) thanks
- Alexander Dashit
- Does exactly what it says!
- Rise and Shine
- Works fine, just need patience. People think it can work instantly. It needs pace. You tube won't let you remove unlimited comments at once, so it needs to chug along doing it's job. Open the browser, go to the comment location, and let it do it's magic! go have some coffee, come back and give thanks to the maker like I am. Thank you so much developer! I used this to remove all the comments I made in the past!

- Waaay to slow. You might as well sit there and click because this thing will take 10 years to delete anything.

- Slow but effective! Just play a video in another window or something to keep your computer awake and let this thing do the work for you.
