However, some users have their personal name and identity tied with their YouTube account and that is why they sometimes want to delete their YouTube account without deleting their entire Gmail account. Follow the instructions in this article in order to find out some of the methods used to delete a YouTube account.
Solution 1: Hide Your YouTube Account and Channel Temporarily
This solution is particularly useful if you are not sure if you are going to use the content from your YouTube channel in the future and it’s recommended that you hide your channel before you decide to delete it, especially if you owned a particularly successful channel on YouTube. You can hide content from your YouTube channel and choose to re-enable it later. When you hide content, your channel name, videos, likes, subscriptions, and subscribers will be made private. Note: All of your comments and replies you made on other peoples comments will be permanently deleted from YouTube. Other forms of Google account data on other Google properties will not be removed.
If you want to make your content available to other YouTube users, or if you want to upload, make comments on YouTube, or use playlists, you can unhide the channel.
Solution 2: Deleting Your YouTube Channel Permanently
The second set of steps which you should check out provides the instructions needed to delete your YouTube channel permanently without leaving the chance of restoring it in any means possible. This is particularly useful if you definitely want to leave YouTube for good and if you don’t want to use it any time in the future. This option will permanently delete your content, including videos you uploaded, comments you posted, messages you sent, playlists, and history of your browsing. Note that you can’t delete a channel by using a mobile device at the moment.
Note: This process will only delete the YouTube channel but it won’t delete the Google+ profile or some of the pages connected to the channel, or the Google Account you used to create the channel.
Solution 3: Deleting Your Google Account
Deleting your Google account is not recommended as you have probably used It for a variety of different websites as the mail associated with your account. However, if you only used your Google account to set up a YouTube account, you can simply delete it and get done with it. We repeat, this method is extreme and it should not be taken lightly.
