How to delete a YouTube channel?

[Oliver Robey]

I created a YouTube channel a few years ago but no longer use it, and I’d like to remove it completely. Can someone explain how to permanently delete a YouTube channel?

It’s pretty straightforward. Do this from a computer, since YouTube currently doesn’t provide the permanent delete option on mobile.

• Sign in to YouTube Studio.
• Go to Settings, then Channel and finally choose Advanced settings.
• Scroll down and click Remove YouTube content.
• Sign in again if required.
• Choose “I want to permanently delete my content.”
• Check the confirmation boxes and click Delete my content.

It permanently removes the channel’s videos, comments, playlists, and other channel content.
