Clearing the search history works for me, but if there's still something lingering, you can nuke everything by clearing YouTube's stored data within Android's app manager.

Disclaimer: I'm running an older version of Android.

ok, also logged into youtube from browser and deleted watch history. went back to mobile and it was still there.

i noticed that there is a small blue triangle on the bottom right of each video in history. if i click that, i have the option to remove video.

Maybe is the flash storage that needs deleting.

Not sure how it works on android, but in windows you have to visit a page in he adobe website to delete the flash cache.
