by View, delete, or pause watch history (signed in)
YouTube watch history makes it easy to find videos you recently watched and improves your video recommendations. You can control your watch history by deleting or pausing your history. You can delete individual items or delete your entire history. When you pause history, any videos that you watch while history is paused won't show in history and won’t be used to improve your recommendations. You can unpause your history to start recording history again.

Remove Items From Your Watch History (and Search History)
YouTube’s Android app has an Incognito Mode you can enable to temporarily prevent it from collecting history. You can even have YouTube stop collecting your watch history entirely using the instructions below. So, if you’re about to watch something you don’t want in your history, use the below tips instead.
But, if you’ve already watched a video, Incognito Mode won’t help and you’ll need to remove it from your history if you don’t want to see it again.
To do this in your web browser, head to the YouTube website and click the menu button at the top left corner of the page. Click the “History” option under Library in the sidebar.

To remove an item from your watch history, click or tap the “X” to the right of it. You must hover over the video with your mouse to see the “X” on the desktop website.
Clear Your Entire Watch History (and Search History)
Rather than deleting individual watched videos, you can just clear your entire watch history from Google’s servers. Be warned: This will make YouTube’s video recommendations worse, as YouTube won’t know what types of videos you like watching.
To do this on the YouTube website, click the menu button at the top left corner of the page, and then click the “History” option. To the right of your watched videos, click the “Clear All Watch History” command.
A dialog box will appear, asking you for confirmation. Click “Clear Watch History” to confirm your choice.
