    Here is a better way to do it.

    1. Install Firefox or Chrome.
    2. Install Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome.
    3. Install this script.
    4. Goto Youtube.com.
    5. Click button.
    6. You should now see that all of the shorts videos have been removed. If you want them back, click on button.
