Delete history command is hard to find in VLC for Android

VLC for Android used to have a Delete History menu item. In the latest UI reorganization, it seems gone.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Tap ...More button,
  2. Next screen has History section showing recent videos.
  3. Press and hold on videos, press and hold on History: no UI to remove individual videos from History, no UI to delete all history.
  4. Tap History -> arrow.
  5. Next screen is a vertical list of videos.
  6. Press and hold on videos, press and hold on History, tap 3-dot vertical menu: no UI to remove individual videos from History, no UI to delete all history.

Expected Results Something somewhere to clear history.

I finally found Settings > Advanced > Clear playback history, but I would expect to see Clear history in the three-dot menu on the history page. I'm pretty sure it used to be there.
