Doesn't work, It creates a blue outline around the watch later check-boxes and that's it. I can't select and delete all of them at once. Honestly I'm shocked YouTube doesn't have this most basic functionality.

It's not working for me. It selects them, but it doesn't delete them.

Doesn't work for me, selects and iterates correctly, doesn't press delete.

Fantastic idea, great instructions and documentation, but for me it simply doesn't remove any videos from my list.
