Easy way to delete videos from watch later
I think it would be a significant enhancement to add a single click way to delete a video from watch later while viewing the watch later playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL)
As it, the option is buried in a menu and that slows down the time to remove entries from a playlist substantially.
Agreed. It would be helpful to have a special label for videos that are in watch later, and a single click that can remove videos in watch later list. It would be awesome to add a grid view to playlists I can never clear my playlist using the default style
👍 on this, I want something similar of the youtube phone app which let me delete things in my playlist in one click :)

@jacobtriffo, I use multiple playlists for my watch later, because it's capped at 2000 entries, and I have almost 4000. Other users use separate playlists in order to share theirs with other accounts of theirs (or other people) because the default Watch Later playlist isn't sharable. Consequently, the user needs to be able to designate multiple playlists as "Watch Later" playlists.
I had a look at this, and it is literally impossible to do in a quick way to delete all videos at once, no matter if is 2 videos or 2000, because Youtube uses something called lazy-loading, a way to load the page as you scroll, to prevent this automatic scripts that we could create.
And even then, it is impossible to remove all at once because the element to click on "Remove from Watch Later" only appears in the DOM after we click on the 3-dot button.
I've made a script here to remove one video, which worked fine; it would work for all videos with a bit of improving, but will take a bit of time because the script literally has to emulate a human interaction, clicking on every 3-dot button for every video, and then clicking on the Remove button.
Not sure if a feature like that will be so useful compared to not having any, what do you guys think?
Also, @ImprovedTube, what do you think?
