Frequently Asked Questions
Can I restore a video after deleting it from YouTube?
Once you delete a YouTube video, it is no longer possible to restore it. It will be lost forever if you do not have a copy of it saved elsewhere. Therefore, if you are a content creator and are already able to monetize your YouTube account, it is not recommended that you delete your videos. However, certain statistics related to the video will continue to appear in YouTube Studio.
Is it possible to delete just a part of a YouTube video, like a specific scene?
You cannot make any changes to a video once it has been posted to the platform. One alternative that influencers use is to edit the part of the video that you want to change, delete the version that is currently on YouTube, and upload the newer version with the same title and thumbnail. This can cause some confusion among your followers if you leave the first video up for too long, but this can be easily fixed by leaving a pinned comment below the second video.
How to delete multiple videos at once on YouTube?
Yes, but it is only possible through the browser using YouTube Studio. Within the website and with your account logged in, access your content page, select all the videos you want to delete and click on “More actions” and then “Delete forever”.
