Hello,

I have been trying to use this app to delete my [YouTube Music] library to start over anew, but every time I try, it says that nothing was deleted, despite the fact I have uploaded content to delete... As a note, I have already authenticated my account to Google, so I'm signed in. I would hate to have to delete items one at a time, as that would take a lot of time... Also, I've tried the commands multiple times, but they keep spitting out that nothing was deleted. Would you have an idea as to what to do next? I'm stumped...

Thanks, ultimatefrisbeegeek

Hi, yeah I can definitely help you but I'll need more specific info. Firstly, can you enable verbose logging from the File -> Preferences menu in the app. Then when you run "Delete Uploads" or "Delete All" or whichever function you're running, paste the entire console log here when it's done.

Thanks for sending that.

Just so that I can isolate whether it's an issue with retrieving uploads or retrieving library songs in general, do you have any library songs? That is, songs that you have clicked "Save to library" on and that would show up here under "Library" (as opposed to Uploads)

In any case, it's likely not an issue with this particular tool but rather the ytmusicapi that this tool uses to interact with your YTM library. Google is constantly making changes to the API and testing changes by region or by a random selection of users, so the ytmusicapi has to make frequent adjustments and they don't always work for all users. In the new 1.8.0 version of ytmusicapi, they changed how upload retrieval works, and if you don't see a Downloads button in the web interface (like in that screenshot above) then it won't find any uploads (bug reported here).

But I haven't upgraded this tool to use ytmusicapi-1.8.0 yet for that exact reason, so this is unexpected that it would be happening to someone already. That's why I want to know if it's happening for just your uploads or for your library songs as well. Can you try adding some songs to your library from within YTMusic and clicking "Remove Library" and seeing if it deletes those?

[apastel]

Alright, I just tested this on my personal YTM account which does have a Downloads button in the web interface, and it was not able to find any uploads for me either. I need to make a release of ytmusic-deleter that supports people who do AND do not have a Downloads button, since the ytmusicapi currently only supports the former. Stay tuned for a new release and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[apastel]

Ok, this latest release should fix it for you (the upload issue, at least). This fixes upload retrieval for users who have YTM Premium (instead of the free version).

Hey, all right @apastel! This was also tested and works for me. Thanks for your help and the time you put into this!

[ultimatefrisbeegeek]

Issue resolved with this new release. Thanks again!
