Yes it can be done. Instead of deleting a single video in a youtube playlist I deleted the entire playlist. All 3600+ videos I had squirreled for a rainy day. Research, ideas, a couple of years worth of unsorted. Gone. Poof! The only way to somewhat "recover" is to scroll back through my history, but most of those I just saved for later and do not have an inkling what they were. So i'm in emotional and mental upheaval right now trying to take the high road and think, well if i don't know what they were I can't miss them right? Nope Nope Nope. My data pits: Youtube, Recall, Notes, Notion, Raindrop, etc.. are my first searches for things I know I know but cannot remember. Lesson in loss here I suppose. Or.....a notebooklm style rag database of all of my data pits to find.... nope nope nope. not going there either. time for a cry and then get back to life again
