ToggleWhy Remove Videos
There are a few reasons why you might want to remove videos from YouTube. For one, they could be embarrassing or personal. If you don’t want anyone to see them, it’s best to remove them from YouTube.

What is Youtube History and Should I Clear It
YouTube history is a record of all the videos you’ve watched on YouTube. If you don’t want anyone to see what you’ve watched, it’s best to clear your history.
It’s important to note that clearing your history doesn’t remove the videos from YouTube. It just removes them from your history. Anyone who knows your YouTube username and password can still access the videos.
How to Remove Videos
There are two ways to remove videos from YouTube: you can either delete them or hide them.
Deleting a video permanently removes it from YouTube. Once it’s deleted, no one can watch it or find it on your channel.
Hiding a video makes it private. Only people who have the link can watch it. Hiding a video is a good option if you don’t want to delete it permanently but don’t want anyone to find it either.
