Re: Getting rid of recommended video's in you tube?

As the other comment says, question is vague about app or browser, and about signed in or not.  Home is for me and many a useless page.   Google's algorithm shows its known or anonymous user a fiesta of what it thinks about that, based on history.  In a browser you can bookmark the Library or other and just avoid Home altogether.  The Android app opens in Home, but I generally just go straight to search or the Library tab.   With a user log in, tapping the user icon (upper right) brings up a menu including "Your data in YouTube" opens the browser and enables deletion.  IF the unwanted Home material flows from past use, that might clean it up.  More selectively it's also possible to tap the three-dot icon for the recommended channel and purge "Not Interested" or "Don't Recommend this Channel".

It's worth exploring all Google's privacy settings, since everything done with any Google app or service is aggregated, algorithmically processed and then feeds everything else - like it or not.
