Closing your YouTube channel will permanently delete your content, including videos, comments, messages, playlists, and history. Note that you can't delete a channel on mobile devices right now.
Follow these steps to delete your YouTube channel:
- On a computer, make sure you're signed in to YouTube with the channel you want to delete.
- Go to your advanced account settings. You can get to advanced account settings at any time by following these steps:
- In the top right, click your account > YouTube settings .
- Under "Account settings," select Overview.
- Under the channel's name, select Advanced.
- At the bottom, select Delete channel.
- When prompted, enter your sign-in details and confirm that you want to permanently delete your channel and all of its contents.
- The update may take some time, so you might continue to see thumbnails of your videos on the site for a short time.
Note: These steps will only delete your YouTube channel, not the Google+ profile or page connected to the channel, or the Google Account you use to sign in.
