Close or Delete Your YouTube Account

Go to your settings. In the upper-right corner, click your username and then click "Settings" from the drop down menu.


Closing your YouTube account will permanently delete your videos, channel, and profile. You will not be able to open a new account with the same username.
If you still wish to close your YouTube account, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are signed into YouTube, then go to your advanced account settings.
2. Click Close Account.

You may still see thumbnails of your videos on the site as it takes a while to update and synchronize. Please be assured that your videos have been removed from the site and the thumbnails will be removed shortly.
