Deleting your account means: loss of all uploaded videos, comments, and playlists. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin â it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
YouTube is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA â that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
YouTube is headquartered in San Bruno, California, which is the jurisdiction whose data-protection rules govern your account.
Deletion for YouTube is handled by support rather than a self-service button, so email support@youtube.com from the address on the account and ask for deletion in writing.
