YouTube Activity Cleaner

A Chrome console script that automatically deletes your YouTube activity. Choose between cleaning Comments, Posts, Live Chat, or removing Liked Videos. This script runs directly in your browser's developer console and automates the cleanup process.

Important Warning

This script performs irreversible actions. Once you delete an activity item or remove a liked video, it cannot be recovered. The script runs automatically and will delete ALL items from your selected activity history. Use with caution.

Select Activity Type to Clean:

Usage Notes (Comments/Posts/Live Chat)

Keep the YouTube tab active and visible while the script runs
The script works on Comments, Posts, and Live Chat pages
It automatically scrolls and loads more items as needed
It stops when it reaches the bottom of the page
If Google changes their HTML, you might need to update the selector
For thousands of items, this will take time (e.g., 1000 items at 1000ms each = ~16.7 minutes)

Configuration Tips (Comments/Posts/Live Chat)

You can modify this variable in the script:

DELAY - Time between each deletion (in milliseconds). Default is 1000ms (1 second). You can reduce this to 200ms for faster deletion, but be aware:
- Too fast may trigger YouTube's rate limiting
- May cause the page to become unresponsive
- Default 1000ms is safer for stability

Note: Making the script run too fast may cause YouTube to temporarily block actions or require CAPTCHA verification. The current delay is set conservatively to avoid issues.

Configuration Tips (Liked Videos)

You can modify these variables in the script:

DELETE_INTERVAL_MS - Time between each removal (in milliseconds). Increase if you get rate-limited.
SCROLL_INTERVAL_MS - Time to wait after scrolling before checking for more videos.
MENU_CLICK_DELAY - Delay after clicking menu button before looking for remove option.
MAX_ATTEMPTS - Maximum number of consecutive empty scrolls before script stops.

Note: Making the script run too fast may cause YouTube to temporarily block actions or require CAPTCHA verification.
