🧑💼 Who is this for?
🧑💼 Who is this for? This workflow is for any YouTube user who wants to bulk delete all playlists from their own channel — whether to start fresh, clean up old content, or prepare the account for a new purpose. It’s useful for: Creators reorganizing their channel People transferring content to another account Anyone who wants to avoid deleting playlists manually one by one 🧠 What problem is this workflow solving? YouTube does not offer a built-in way to delete multiple playlists at once. If you have dozens or hundreds of playlists, removing them manually is extremely time-consuming. This workflow automates the entire deletion process in seconds, saving you hours of repetitive effort. ⚙️ What this workflow does Connects to your YouTube account Fetches all playlists you’ve created (excluding system playlists) Deletes them one by one** automatically > ⚠️ This action is irreversible. Once a playlist is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Use with caution. 🛠️ Setup 🔐 Create a YouTube OAuth2 credential in n8n for your channel. 🧭 Assign the credential to both YouTube nodes. ✅ Click “Test workflow” to execute. > 🟨 By default, this workflow deletes everything. If you want to be more selective, see the customization tips below. 🧩 How to customize this workflow to your needs ✅ Add a confirmation flag Insert a Set node with a custom field like confirm_delete = true, and follow it with an IF node to prevent accidental execution. ✂️ Delete only some playlists Add a Filter node after fetching playlists — you can match by title, ID, or keyword (e.g. only delete playlists containing “old”). 🛑 Add a pause before deletion Insert a Wait or NoOp node to give you a moment to cancel before it runs. 🔁 Adapt to scheduled cleanups Use a Cron trigger if you want to periodically clear temporary playlists.
