Additional information

just to clear up confusion, playlist can be cleared if waited for the long loading (after clicking OK button on "Remove Watched Videos" dialog), but if i go back quickly (aka still in loading/removing state) it won't do anything.

my suggestion is to add the feature to clear the playlist in the background (asynchronous) so it will get cleared even if a user quickly get back out of playlist

Remove Watched Videos has never worked for me whether I click 'OK' or 'Yes, and partially watched videos'. I even refreshed the feed after watching video fully and partially.
