How to delete all the items from Amazon saved for later list

I needed to delete all the items from my Amazon saved for later list and just found a way to do it!. The Amazon saved for later option is great until you realize that you have hundreds of items in there. To my surprise, Amazon will only allow you to individually remove each item. As this could take forever, I have put together some instructions below on how to delete all the items from Amazon saved for later list.

How to delete all the items from Amazon saved for later list

As this guide to removing all the items from the saved for later list is complicated please go slow and if you have any problems ask in the comments below as I would be happy to help you!

  1. Open the browser
  2. Navigate to Amazon.co.uk
  3. Log in to your account
  4. Click the Amazon shopping basket in the top right corner (as shown below)
  5. Amazon-basket

 

 

  1. Scroll down to display the Saved for later items
  2. Click any blank area of the webpage
  3. Press CTRL + SHIFT +(This will display the developer console on the right-hand side of the page as shown below.)
  4. developer console
  5. Copy the below code by highlighting with the mouse and then pressing Ctrl + C

//Techsnail is happy to help
function deleteSavedItems() {
var query = document.querySelectorAll(“#sc-saved-cart input[value=Delete]”)
if (query.length) {
query[0].click();
}
if (query.length > 5) {
setTimeout(deleteSavedItems,100);
}
else {
console.log(‘Finished’);
}
}
deleteSavedItems();

    1. Then paste the copied code above into the white text box on the developer console. To do this click the white text box and press Ctrl + V
    2. It should look like the image below.
    3. Press Enter to run the code and the items should start to disappear.

If this doesn’t work on the first try it is because copy and pasting the code renders quotes that are ASCII characters which are not correct. You’ll have to paste the code into the Console, then replace the quotes (4 of them) with quotes from your keyboard.
Use ‘ <– next to the Enter key.

The above tip was from Scott in the comments below.
