How to delete your own videos on YouTube
First go to the YouTube website and log in with your account. Then proceed as follows:
- Click the small arrow next to "Upload Video" in the top center next to the search bar and then "Video Manager".
- Now you will see a list of the videos you uploaded. Check the videos you want to delete and then click on "Actions" and finally on "delete" (see picture).
- In the next window you will be asked to confirm the operation. Clicking "Yes, delete" will delete the selected videos.
- To complete the process, you have to wait three seconds and then click "Yes, delete" again. The videos are now permanently deleted from the YouTube servers.
You don't always have to delete your YouTube videos right away. It is often sufficient to set the visibility to private so that the video can no longer be called up. You can find out how to do this here.
