• (2025-07-01) Benjamin Brewer: It sorta works... Youtube shows the row's as deleted; but return an hour later and you'll see it has repopulated a portion of the history. Return 12 hours later repeat and continue the repetition on interval. I'm guessing that syncs are being merged or youtube wasn't able to process the requests. The tool is still useful in that every flash was a minute of my life wasted, and watching the deleted reinforces that I burnt that time. Thankyou for writing and sharing the tool.
• (2025-06-12) Daniel: Hi there, I'm having trouble using the extension. It doesn't seem to be working for me, and I'm also unsure how to use it properly since there were no clear instructions provided. For example, the “Clear row” option doesn’t appear at all for me. Also, when I click on the pinned extension while viewing a YouTube Short, and then select “Delete YouTube Shorts from history,” it just redirects me back to the Chrome Web Store page where I originally installed the extension. Could you please help me resolve this? I'd really appreciate some guidance or troubleshooting steps. Thanks in advance. Ps. I'll leave a 5 star review if you can help me to get it working properly, this would be sooo helpful.

• (2025-03-09) Dungeon Master: Thank you! I was sick of clicking each individual short to remove it. This is a lifesaver. Works great. Just run it and wait till its done.
• (2025-02-27) Kris: Worked well, don't scroll while it's deleting a row.
• (2025-01-30) Michał Gołębiowski (Gołąb): For now it doesnt work, but I'd love to! Now clicking the button spawns somewhere belowe the menu that usually pops up when clicking the 3 vertical dots on the right of the row.

• (2025-01-15) Eric Aston: Works great and does what it says. 👍 Would be nice to have an option to delete all Shorts at once, though.

• (2024-07-07) Amado ChS: This extension truly works. It removes Shorts videos from the YouTube history page, rather than merely hiding them like other extensions do. When activated, it displays a ‘Clear now’ button that automatically deletes videos row by row. While it may be a bit manual and slow, especially if you have many Shorts videos to delete, at least you won’t have to click through each one or search for all the shorts in your activity history.
