Question

I am using --download-archive option from 1-2 years now to record the videos already downloaded.

Now that list has grown to more than 10000 video IDs. How do I clean it up?

Is it stored randomly? Or in order of of download time? (looks like it)

Normally I download videos of last two days only (--dateafter today-1day). So is it safe to delete first 9500 video IDs making sure that it would still not be redownloaded? (because they will be older than 2 days anyway)

Thank you
