Server Version#: 4.108.0  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>  
I know there is a way to do this, but I can not remember for the life of me. Unfortunately, my Plex watchlist has gotten ridiculously big (over 1000+ items) and I would like to reset it. I know there used to be a file we could delete to cause a reset. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction or let me know another way to completely reset the Universal Watchlist to have no items in it?

There wasn’t. The watchlist is and always has been online. It is not tied to your server at all.

There is not any single button to clear it. I will bring it up to folks though.
