How to Reset Your YouTube Music Library

If you're looking to start fresh with your YouTube Music library, there are a few ways to reset it. Here's how:

1. Remove Individual Items

This is the most precise way to reset your library, letting you remove only the items you want.

  • Open the YouTube Music app or website.
  • Find the song, album, artist, or playlist you want to remove.
  • Click the three dots menu next to the item.
  • Select "Remove from library" or "Remove."

2. Clear Your Recent Activity

This will remove items from your "Recently Played" and "Liked Songs" sections, but it won't delete them from your library completely.

  • Open the YouTube Music app or website.
  • Go to your "Library" section.
  • Select "Recent Activity."
  • Click the three dots menu and choose "Clear all."

3. Reset Your Entire Library (Android Only)

This is the most drastic option and will completely remove all songs, albums, artists, and playlists from your library.

  • Open the YouTube Music app.
  • Go to your "Library" section.
  • Tap the "Settings" icon (gear icon).
  • Scroll down and select "Reset library."
  • Confirm that you want to reset your library.

4. Delete and Reinstall the App

This will completely clear your library and any other settings.

  • Open the settings app on your device.
  • Find the YouTube Music app and uninstall it.
  • Download and reinstall the YouTube Music app.

5. Use a New Account

This is the most extreme option and will create a completely new library.

  • Sign out of your current YouTube Music account.
  • Create a new YouTube Music account.
  • Start adding music to your new library.

Remember to back up any playlists or other content you want to keep before using any of these methods.

By following these steps, you can reset your YouTube Music library and start fresh!
