However, hiding YouTube Shorts this way is a temporary solution lasting only 30 days. The Shorts section will reappear on your homepage after this period. To hide them again, press the &#8220;Not Interested&#8221; option again.<\/p>\n<p>While this strategy is adequate for the short term, we have added more efficient methods to do so later in the article. Follow the steps below to hide YouTube Shorts when browsing YouTube on your PC:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> As soon as you see the Shorts on the feed, click the <strong>X icon<\/strong> at the top-right side.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26339 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632.jpg\" alt=\"Use The Not Interested Option to Disable\" width=\"1574\" height=\"858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632.jpg 1574w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/batch_Screenshot-3632-1536x837.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1574px) 100vw, 1574px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Reload the YouTube page; you will not see the Shorts section on the platform.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2-_Use_Menu_Options_to_Disable\"><\/span>Method 2- Use Menu Options to Disable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do you only want to remove a particular short instead of the Shorts section?
