Google Glass makes it very easy for Glassware apps to 'liter' the timeline (especially with news items). Is there any easy way to clean/delete items you don't want?
Many of these items cannot be deleted, and the apps themselves (like Winkfeed for example) don't seem to have that feature. I know your OWN apps can delete their own items, but haven't found a way to delete/manage ALL the items on my timeline (including those created by other apps).

The original Google Glass stumbled so other smart glasses could run. While Google failed to capture the consumer smart glasses niche in 2014, the market's changed a lot in just a few short years. Snapchat now sells its Spectacles glasses so folks can share photos and videos from a first-person perspective.
These spectacles also come with AR and VR capabilities, USB-C charging, and an improved processor and camera. As a result, while it's no longer commercially available as a retail product, Google Glass still does exist. The original Google Glass stumbled so other smart glasses could run.
Google Glass: What Happened To The Futuristic Smart Glasses? Google Glass smart glasses were once slated as the next big thing in tech. While they no longer exist, the technology lives on in future products. Google Glass arrived and left in a very short space of time.
If you're developing a Glassware
You can use the Mirror API's delete method or tools like Glass Cleaner to clear up timeline items.
If you're a user of a Glassware
The management of the timeline items is up to the developer of the Glassware. There's no way to override this from Glass, but your timeline isn't infinite. They'll fall off the timeline after about 7 days, or when your timeline exceeds about 200 items.
In general, the design philosophy for Glass is to discourage you from managing your timeline like an email inbox. By design it discourages you from achieving timeline zero. The intent is to avoid using it like a fire hose that you try to manage, but instead to think of it like a stream that you dip your toe into now and then.
