How Delete Youtube Channel?

 

You don't need a YouTube channel to continue using YouTube for your own pleasure. While, it can be a lot of fun to create a channel with your own videos, playlists and a quick blurb about yourself or your channel, if that's something you no longer want or need, deleting that old channel is a good idea in order to help clean up your online presence.

Without a channel, you can still subscribe to other channels, leave comments on other videos, add videos to your Watch Later section and all the other things associated with using YouTube. This is because your YouTube account is associated with your Google account, so as long as you keep using YouTube through your Google account, it doesn't matter whether you have a channel or not.

1.Access Your YouTube Settings

 

Go to YouTube.com in a web or mobile browser and sign in to your account. Although you can delete your YouTube account and all of its data from the official YouTube mobile app, you can only delete channels from the web.

Click your user account icon in the top right corner of the screen and click Settingsfrom the dropdown menu.

Note: If you have multiple YouTube channels on the same account, make sure you're accessing the settings for the right one. To switch to a different channel, click Switch account from the dropdown menu, select the channel you want, and then repeat the above instructions to access its settings.

 

2.Access Your Advanced Settings

 

On the next page, click on the Advanced link that appears beside your photo and beneath your channel name. You'll be taken to a new page with all of your channel settings.

3.Delete Your Channel

 

Look for the Delete channel button at the bottom of the channel settings page and click it. Your Google account, Google products (such as Gmail, Drive, etc.) and other existing channels associated with it won't be affected.

You'll be asked to sign into your Google account again for verification.

On the following page, you'll be given two options:

I want to hide my content

I want to permanently delete my content

You can choose to simply hide all of your channel content like videos and playlists, however your channel page, name, art and icon, likes and subscriptions will remain unhidden. If you'd prefer to go with this option, click I want to hide my content, check the boxes to confirm you understand, and then click the blue Hide My Content button.

If you're ready to go ahead and delete your entire channel and all of its data, then click I want to permanently delete my content. check the boxes to confirm you understand and then click the blue Delete My Content button.

You'll be asked one last time to confirm deletion by typing your channel name into the given field before clicking Delete My Content. Remember that once you've clicked this, it cannot be undone.
