you how.
Hi there, David Walsh here once again from davidwalshonline.com, your place to grow your
business using YouTube. In this video I'm going to show you how to delete a YouTube
account from YouTube. Now, you'll probably have plenty of reasons that you want to do
so, so I'm here to help. If this is your first time on this channel, make sure to hit the

back.
So, we're going to hop over to the trusty computer as I show you how to delete a YouTube
account from YouTube. In a previous video I went through how to delete a YouTube Channel,
so if you're trying to delete a channel, go and watch that video, the link is in the card
up in the top, and also in the description below. In this video we're going to go through
how to delete an actual account on YouTube, which is outside of YouTube itself funnily
enough, it's actually inside of your Google account instead.
So, let's head on over to your Google account. Here I am in my Google account, so you go
to myaccount.google.com. What we want to do is we actually want to go into our information
in here and actually delete our YouTube account. Now, if you want to delete your whole Google
account, you could do so here as well. But for this video we're just going to delete
our YouTube account only. So, what we do is we go to data and personalization on the left
hand side, scroll down to where it says we want to delete a service, or your account.
Now, if you have content on there, you can go in and you can download it. You also have
options to make a plan for your account, so you can explore these. But for the sake of
this video we're just going to go in and delete our account. Then we go into delete a Google
service. So, we pop in our password again, and then we need to have our phone handy so
that we pop in the verification code the Google will send us.
So, I've got my code, click on next. Now I have options here to delete YouTube, or to
delete my Gmail. So, if I just want to delete my YouTube, I click on the icon here, pop
in my password again. And again, I need to go to my phone and get the verification code.
Pop that in, click next. And this is very similar to the last video that we have the
option to hide my channel or delete my content. So, just pop in that, delete my content. Pop
in my email address again. Click on delete my content. And boom, now we've just deleted
our YouTube account.
So, as it says, it may take a few minutes, but it can take up to a couple of days for
that to happen. So, if we go back to our account again, go to data personalization, delete
service or account. Pop in the details again. We see here that we do not have a YouTube
account, or even any YouTube Channel, we only have Gmail left on our account.
So, that's how you delete your YouTube account. And if you have multiple channels on there,
you need to either move them or delete them as we've done in the previous video before
you can delete your account. So, there you go, those are the steps you need to take to
delete your YouTube account from YouTube.
Now, I would love to know why you are deleting your YouTube account. Whether it is you just
don't like YouTube any more, whether it is you've just got too many and you just need
to get rid of them, or whatever it is. Let me know in ye olde comments area below, I'd
love to know why. And as always, if you have a question about this or anything else to
do with YouTube, also stick that in ye olde comments down there as well. Now, if you'd
