Last Album/Singles will not delete
ohscrewthis opened this issue · 9 comments
I read the little troubleshooting part and don't understand what you mean by "delete the remaining albums manually". I really want these albums down. Help?
I've had some instances where ytmusic-deleter will delete everything but like 1 or two albums. And then I just go and delete those albums manually the old-fashioned way inside YT Music.
Can you tell me a little more about what happened? Were you trying to delete uploaded albums or remove library albums? How many didn't get deleted and was there an error message in the output?

There was no error message in the output. It says that it's successfully deleted 0 out of 0 albums/singles, yet they still remain. I was trying to delete uploaded albums. One album and 3 singles that were released together were not removed. I also was not aware of a separate way of removing the albums. I can't seem to find any way of doing so without this tool.
Also, it successfully deleted every other uploaded album I made. It's just the two items that I stated that remained.
Oh, this will be an easy problem to solve then. You can delete anything you've uploaded to YT Music by clicking the 3 dots in the corner of the album photo and selecting "Delete Album".
I click on those and the option to delete doesn't pop up, I assume it's because I'm the one who published the music through DistroKid. Is there anything I can do different to make sure that PowerShell includes the last two items in it's deletion?
To clarify, I own a topic channel and am trying to remove original music from Youtube Music
Interesting, ok. So then it sounds like these are technically not "Uploaded" albums because you didn't upload them from your computer, you had them published to YT Music through some 3rd party service. Are you trying to get these tracks unpublished from YT Music altogether, for everybody? If so, ytmusic-deleter cannot help you with that, this is a tool for bulk removing/deleting tracks from your personal YT Music library that you might have added to your library. If you had these tracks published from DistroKid (had to Google what that is) then I would assume you have to get them unpublished through DistroKid as well.

It actually worked in removing my DistroKid uploads to Youtube, all except the last two. I had went to DistroKid to remove them from there first, however, they cannot remove them from YouTube, hence why this tool is very helpful for that. I just don't know why the last two won't delete. Everything on my DistroKid account is deleted.
It's not perfectly clear to me whether these albums are "Uploads" or "YT Music Libary" tracks and whether you're trying to get them removed from your library or unpublished from the service altogether. If it helped delete some stuff, great, and anything that it missed you should go back and find the "Delete" or "Remove from library" button within YT Music. If there is no option to delete them within YT Music, then ytmusic-deleter won't be able to delete them either. It's just a convenience tool that performs batch deletions when it would take too long to delete them one-by-one on the website.
