YouTube TV lets users delete the recordings on the desktop/mobile/Smart TV once they have completed watching the desired content. In detail, you can remove or delete the scheduled recordings from your library, not the recorded shows and movies stored in your library. The platform offers the auto delete feature, where the recordings on YouTube TV will get deleted automatically, after watching it.
