In VLC player, how do I clear a playlist filled with many videos in one shot (instead of deleting one by...
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
When one has many clips in the playlist, how do i delete them all in one go? Curently, I press delete 22 times in a row to delete 22 videos! I rather use the same colour/brightness settings that's why I reuse instead of closing the player and opening up a new one.

Clear playlist using the hotkey CTRL + W

According to the VLC wiki that hotkey does NOT clear the playlist: wiki.videolan.org/hotkeys_table You may have a custom setting somewhere and this answer does not apply.

From the command line, type [vlc --help] and see for yourself You are not launching a wiki, you are launching vlc. Therefore, the local copy of vlc prevails, without regard to any wiki.

Please explain. When I run .vlc.exe --help the help text that shows is help for the command line interaction and contains no information about CTRL- hotkeys. Further, the wiki I'm referring to is the official online helpfile by videolan: wiki.videolan.org/hotkeys_table

I will explain AFTER you simply open VLC, load a playlist, then clear it with the hotkey ctrl+w. And, my bad on the [vlc --help]. Use the more exhaustive [vlc -H] Further, I do not recall where I learned the hotkey. Been using since Day 1.

You are correct and I was not. I found one reference on a forum about a script that adds this capability to VLC, but none of the documentation available lists this key combination.

You can select all the clips with your mouse, then hit the DEL button to delete the selected clips.

If you're talking about VLC in a window, then with the playlist open, press CTRLA to select all the elements in the playlist, then press DEL to delete all tracks ;)

Other than with CTRL+A, you can also drag with your mouse around the files, and press DEL.
Dragging and dropping also works well, to add new files.

Right-click in the playlist window and select Clear Playlist.

The CTRL+w hotkey is listed in the GUI. Preferences/All/Interface/Hotkeys Settings - scroll way way down the list. It is there.
What a stiki wiki this is.
