Script to help automatically delete Saved Jobs on LinkedIn, LinkedIn only allows you to delete 1 job at a time which is a problem when you have hundreds of saved jobs.

delete_linkedin_saved_jobs.js

// Open Chrome. Not tested on other browsers but should work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
// Go to https://www.linkedin.com/my-items/saved-jobs/
// Make sure Saved and not Applied is selected.
// Open the Chrome Dev Tools by hitting F12 on your keyboard.
// Go to Console tab.
// Paste this script in the space bellow after the little > symbol.
// Hit Enter.
// The jobs will start to be deleted 1 by 1 after a 5 sec pause.
// Leave the window open but you can do something else while it does it's thing.
// If it gets tripped up just start over.
// Close or refresh the tab to stop it.

setInterval(function(){
	//click on the 3 dots drop down menu
	document.getElementsByClassName('artdeco-button--tertiary')[1].click()
	
	var third = document.getElementsByClassName('image-text-lockup__text')[2]
	var fourth = document.getElementsByClassName('image-text-lockup__text')[3]
	
	if(third.textContent.includes("Unsave")){
		//Job no longer taking applications need to click third item on drop down list
		third.click()
	}else{
		//Job still hiring need to click fourth item on drop down list
		fourth.click()
	}
	
	//Dismiss the item unsaved popup after waiting 2 seconds for it to appear.
	setTimeout(function(){
	document.getElementsByClassName('artdeco-toast-item__dismiss')[0].click()
	},2000);
	
},5000); 
// Wait 5 seconds between deleting items, seems to work well to give the list enough time to reload after a delete.

Tried this again today, it still works the only thing I noticed is that the pagination doesn't advance automatically now I think this is a change on LinkedIn so now once one page is finished deleting you need to click the second page for it to continue.

this works! Thanks man!

you saved me so much time!

Thank you so much, here's a modified version for "Archived" jobs

setInterval(function(){
	//click on the 3 dots drop down menu
	document.getElementsByClassName('artdeco-button--tertiary')[1].click();
	
	ls = document.getElementsByClassName('image-text-lockup__text');
	
	if( ls[2].textContent.includes("Remove job") )
		ls[2].click();
	else
		ls[3].click();
	
	setTimeout(function(){
		document.getElementsByClassName('artdeco-toast-item__dismiss')[0].click()
	},500);
	
},1000); 

@ZiglioUK I ran this script but it seems to have caused a glitch where the Archived jobs tab now disappears. How do I stop the script? Closing and refreshing the page didnt' work.

How weird, surely refreshing the page would stop any script from running. I don't do much web development, especially in the last 6 years, so I wouldn't know, sorry!

Try increasing the timeouts, maybe it's not that the Archived jobs tab has disappeared, perhaps the timeout was too short and the page failed to reload the next bunch of entries. Just hit the back button if that happens

quick update. If the Archived button disappears, just go to the next page until it reappears (applied jobs come first and don't get archived). In fact, you can just start from the last page.

Need code for archived jobs too !

The code above works well for Archived jobs
