❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How does the 1-click cleaner work?
A: TubeTidy inspects your Watch Later playlist in real time, identifies videos that you have completed (red progress bar) or that are private/deleted, and sends batch removal requests through your active browser session.
Q: Will this accidentally delete unwatched videos?
A: No. TubeTidy strictly checks watch progress. Only videos with >=85% watched progress or unavailable/deleted videos are removed. All your unwatched videos remain completely untouched.
Q: How fast is it compared to doing it manually?
A: Deleting 5,000 videos manually requires 3 clicks per video (15,000 clicks) and takes over 4 hours. TubeTidy batches operations up to 50 items per call and clears thousands of videos in minutes.
Q: What happens if my Watch Later is at 5,000 videos?
A: YouTube completely blocks new additions when a playlist reaches 5,000. Running TubeTidy immediately frees up room so you can save videos again.
