Easily delete your YouTube Music library
Project description
ytmusic-deleter: Delete your YouTube Music library
YTMusic Deleter is an installable program for performing batch delete operations on your YouTube Music library, since currently there is no built-in option to do this. This tool is faster than browser-based / Javscript-based tools because it uses the YouTube Music API to make rapid requests against your library instead of doing the deletion manually in your browser.
If this project helped you and you want to thank me, you can get me a beer!

Setup

Video Tutorial on using YT Music Deleter
This video shows an older version of the UI. The authentication process has been simplified. New video coming soon!
Troubleshooting
Various exceptions may occur while running ytmusic-deleter because there is a wide swath of possible metadata on your library, and the YouTube Music backend is changing rapidly. Most errors deleting albums have been accounted for and you may just have to delete a couple albums manually that got left behind. If there are any errors that halt the entire program in the middle of deletion, please create an Issue and post the full error.
