You can do it by opening the playlist in YouTube (not YouTube Music). If you then clock the 3-dot-menu and select "Settings" and then "Advanced Settings". After that a "Remove Duplicates" appears on the right which you have to click until it doesn't find any duplicates anymore.

This seems to have worked for me. I still hope there will be a better integration in YouTube Music at some point.

It is described in detail here.

  • Think of the likely hundreds of engineering hours saved by not having to maintain this complex "remove duplicates" functionality. And the streamlined user experience that we're left with. So what if I have duplicates in my playlists, at least the PMs made their mark. Thanks, Google.
