Some things to remember when deleting videos from YouTube:

• When you delete a YouTube video its permanent. Save a local copy of your video if you ever want to view it again.
• You can always re-upload the same video in the future, but the URL (website address) will be different from your original upload.
• All comments, views, and statistics associated with your video are removed from YouTube when you delete it.
• You can edit your videos using the “enhancement” feature if you’re looking to make small changes such as video length and video color adjustment. This means you do not have to delete and re-upload your video, allowing you to keep your statistics attached to it.

3. From the “Playlist” tab, choose the playlist you wish to delete by clicking “View Full Playlist” directly below the video.

4. This will prompt you to another screen where you have the option to “Edit” your playlist using the button shown below.

5. And on to the next screen. From here simply click on the three dots associated with the playlist you want to get rid of then hit “Delete playlist”.

How To Delete Your YouTube Channel

1. Click on your YouTube avatar and select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.

2. From here you can choose “Advanced settings” from the left-hand menu.

3. In “Advanced settings”, scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit the button that says “Delete Channel”.

4. Google will then prompt you to either hide your account or delete it altogether. Hiding your account can be a good option if you think you might come back to it in the future. If your decision to part ways with YouTube is final, the button you're looking for is “Delete My Content”.
