You can delete any video you uploaded to your YouTube channel. You can’t replace a video since any new video uploads will get a new URL, but you can change the existing video.
Delete your own videos
You can remove any videos that you uploaded from your own Google Account. If you delete a video, it's permanently deleted — you can't recover it through YouTube. If you want to see it again, make sure you have a backup saved.
- Sign in to YouTube .
- Tap your profile picture Your videos.
- Or from the middle menu, tap View channel.
- Next to the video that you want to delete, select More Delete .
- Tap DELETE to confirm
After you delete a video, the video URL and title will no longer be visible or searchable in YouTube Analytics. Data associated with the video such as Watch time will still be part of aggregate reports, but will not be attributed to the deleted video.
Replace a video
You can’t replace a video because any new video you upload to YouTube will get a new URL. Instead, you can:
- Change a video's title, description, and privacy settings.
- Make YouTube Video Enhancements to an existing video.
- Add a card to direct viewers to an updated version.
