Remove all videos from "Watched Later" on YouTube

For whatever reason, YouTube's "Removed watched videos" button has not worked for years. But since I've maxed out my "Watch Later" list, I can't add anything until I remove videos.

So, this script simply goes through every video in the list and removes it.

With 5,000 videos, it will take about 42 minutes.

removeAllVideos.js

function removeFirstVideo() {
  // Find the first video's menu button, and open the menu
  const firstVideoMenuButton = document.querySelector('ytd-playlist-video-renderer button')
  firstVideoMenuButton.click();
  
  // Wait a bit for the menu to open before clicking
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Click the "Remove from Watch Later" item
    const removeVideoMenuItem = document.querySelector('#items > ytd-menu-service-item-renderer:nth-child(3) > tp-yt-paper-item');
    removeVideoMenuItem.click();
  }, 100)
}

function removeAllVideos() {
  setInterval(removeFirstVideo, 500);
}

removeAllVideos();
