How to Delete Shorts from YouTube
Deleting Shorts from YouTube is a straightforward process that can help you manage your content effectively. Whether you’ve uploaded a video that no longer aligns with your brand or you simply want to declutter your profile, this guide will walk you through the steps to delete your Shorts.
Firstly, log in to your YouTube account. Once you’re logged in, navigate to the Shorts section by clicking on the “Uploading” button on the left-hand side of the screen. This will take you to the Shorts dashboard where all your uploaded videos are displayed.
Step 1: Select the Short to Delete
Locate the Short you wish to delete from the list of videos. You can identify it by its thumbnail and title. Once you’ve found the video, click on the three dots located on the right side of the video’s thumbnail. This will open a dropdown menu with various options.
Step 2: Choose ‘Delete Video’
From the dropdown menu, select “Delete Video.” A confirmation prompt will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion. Make sure to review the information provided, as this action is irreversible. If you’re certain, click “Delete Video” to proceed.
Step 3: Confirm Deletion
YouTube will prompt you to enter your password to confirm the deletion. Enter your password and click “Submit.” The video will be removed from your Shorts profile immediately.
Additional Tips
– If you want to delete multiple Shorts at once, you can select multiple videos by holding down the “Ctrl” (or “Cmd” on a Mac) key and clicking each video. Then, follow the same steps as above to delete them.
– Deleting a Short does not delete it from any other platforms where it may have been shared. If you want to remove it from other platforms, you’ll need to delete it from those platforms as well.
– If you delete a Short by mistake, you can recover it within 30 days. To do so, go to your YouTube Studio, click on “Library,” and then “Deleted.” From there, you can restore the video.
Deleting Shorts from YouTube is a simple process that can help you maintain a clean and professional profile. By following these steps, you can easily manage your content and ensure that your YouTube presence reflects your brand or personal style.
