What is how to delete a youtube video?

Deleting a YouTube video is permanent and cannot be undone. Here's how to do it:

  1. Sign in to YouTube: Make sure you're signed in to the correct YouTube account that owns the video you want to delete.
  2. Go to YouTube Studio: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "YouTube Studio".
  3. Navigate to Content: In the left sidebar, click on "Content". This will show a list of all your uploaded videos.
  4. Find the Video: Locate the video you want to delete.
  5. Open the Options Menu: Hover over the video and click the three vertical dots (Options).
  6. Select "Delete Forever": From the dropdown menu, select "Delete%20Forever".
  7. Confirm Deletion: A dialog box will appear. Check the box to acknowledge that you understand the deletion is permanent. Click the "Delete%20Forever" button to confirm.

Important Considerations:

  • Deletion is Permanent: Once you delete a video, it's gone. YouTube cannot recover it for you.
  • Impact on Watch Time: Deleting videos may affect your channel's overall watch time.
  • Alternatives: Consider making a video private or unlisted instead of deleting it if you might want to access it later. Making a video "Private" means only you can view it, and "Unlisted" means only people with the link can view it.
