How to delete YouTube Watch History

Why do you need to delete your YouTube Watch History? Is it because you are seeing unwanted video recommendations? YouTube will use your historical watch videos to create a list of recommendation videos. If you don’t want to receive similar videos, you’ll need to delete watch history.

It can be a boring recommendation if they are the same videos but with a slightly modified title. Once you delete your watch history, you can start over and YouTube will use your recently watch videos and create a new list of recommendation videos. You can do this as frequently as you want.
