| The feature for deleting the entire list has been removed due to performance issues. Currently you have to delete every entry manually. |
lourenz said: Can't you make a new account? Then everything is 'reset' Yeah do this, its not like your using your account for much forum activity anyways |
| I made a script specifically for you. First copy the entire script from here: link removed, then open this page: http://myanimelist.net/editlist.php?type=anime and paste the script into the address bar (if you use Google Chrome, manually type javascript: at the very beginning) and press enter. Please be patient because it may take a long time, your browser may even tell you it froze or script doesn't answer, but just wait, it will finish eventually Mod Edit: Removed link to script. |

| Wait ... why would you want to delete all the entries ? Making a new account is probably easier anyway ^^ |

| Thank you for taking the time and effort to make such a script, Serhiyko, I know you wanted to help users with this. However, in this case I have to remove the link to the script and ask everyone not to use and not to distribute a script that removes all entries from a list. The feature for erasing the entire anime list has been removed because it was too taxing for the servers. Users removing their entire lists with a script is a problem for the servers too and also defeats the purpose of removing the official feature. Using a script to remove ghost entries is fine because people usually only have a few of them. But the more entries need to be deleted, the more stressful it is for the servers. By using this script you're also violating the Terms of Use (4. Use of Our Service): [...] You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc. , that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Company servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser [...] Crave bans IPs when people violate this part of the TOS and with the latest changes to the Incapsula security system it started to happen more often. Crave bans can last several days or be permanent and the MAL Staff cannot do anything about them. So please be careful with any (user)scripts that access the site a lot - if you are unsure if you can use them safely, please send me a PM. As for the advice given in this thread to create a new account: the Site & Forum Guidelines specify the following: V.5. One account per person. Duplicates will be banned and/or removed. So please do not create a new account. @Marhaba1Hello: I don't know what exactly your problem is with your list, but if you want to rearrange them you probably don't need to remove your entire list. You have 27 entries on plan to watch, if you want to delete them it shouldn't take long even manually. If you want to move many entries from one category to another one or do lots of other changes it's often helpful to export your list, do the changes in a text editor, and then import the list with your changes. What you can't do with this is deleting entries from the list, but it helps with rearranging series, scores, etc. |

| luna pretty much hit the spot. exporting the file, extracting it, editing it, removing/adjusting the content and then importing it back up can prove to be quite a fast method, even with a lot of content needing to be replaced/altered. if you will require any further assistance on the matter, feel free to pm me about it. also, do note that i've once had 400 series on my ptw list and have managed to reduce them to 40 approx in less than half an hour. i wasn't simply deleting them all over, but was actually looking at what might be useful to watch. my point is that although the work-load might seem heavy, it actually really isn't. once you get a certain tempo, selecting "edit" and "delete entry" or "change relation" can be really swift and fast. still, if you'd prefer the export > import way, as said, drop by and ask if you'll need any further help. :) |
ljz363 said: Did you read the thread or nah? It's not possible to remove your own list. Just read what subpyro has suggested and export your list, modify it and import it back again. I want to delete all the anime I have in my watched/completed list. Is there any way I can do that? |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
