I Deleted My YouTube Account By Mistake – How Can I Get It Back ?

March 29, 2009 by Gautam

I Deleted My YouTube Account By Mistake – How Can I Get It Back ?

Here’s how you can recover your YouTube account which you would have deleted by mistake :

1> Contact YouTube’s Customer Support – go to http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py

I Deleted My YouTube Account By Mistake - How Can I Get It Back ?

2> You’ll have a couple of options under ‘Contact Us’, select ‘Account Issue’

3> Click on ‘Continue’

4> Click on ‘Reopen account’

5> And then Click on ‘Contact Us’

I Deleted My YouTube Account By Mistake - How Can I Get It Back ?

You’ll land in a new page where you have to enter your YouTube username and the Associated Email Address. Verify if you are entering the right YouTube username as this is very important. You can check if your Username is correct by replacing USERNAME in http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME and opening the URL in a new tab / window.

You can reopen your account this way, but the personal details related your account will be deleted for ever, like the videos and comments associated with that account cannot be restored.

    I had 2 names on Youtube. I went to delete one of them, now can’t access the other. I can see the other page. I can’t post on video’s. (I can post through google when someone has posted to me).
    When I try to sign in to YT, it says, “ooops, We can’t access your account at this time, try back later.
    I tried the things you had posted in 2009 and they aren’t applicable anymore.
    Do you know how I can get this other name that’s still there to be accessible?

    I also tried to just start another YT account, or name. It won’t let me.
    I did get to a page where it asks for my gmail addy in 2 places to forward a message to YT.
    It wouldn’t let it go through.
    I would appreciate any help you can provide. Any action that doesn’t include google would be great, but I suspect that’s not possible. LOL Thank you.

    Subscriptions and playlists will stay if you close an account and then reopen it, at least they used to when this option to reopen account was still possible. I don’t know about comments on videos, but channel comments used to stay. Uploaded videos will not come back once you close an account even if you reopen, your uploads are gone.@N

    Okay!!
    I had the same problem BUT i got back in!
    Go to youtube.com and login USING the email you had used when you HAD your account.
    Click my channel. I will ask you to make a new account do it anyway once you do that it wil say you already have an account.
    click ok
    you will get your account back BUT you will NOT have your video views, comments, subscribers, or videos, favorites and all that crap…
    Hope this helps

    I really need some help guys. I had over a thousand subscribers and today, I went to fix the glitch on the reply button and my account got deleted instead. I was trying to unlink the Google+ account from my YouTube, then this happened. Please, if there is any way to recover my old account, someone notify me. 🙁

    Ok about comments & videos, but what about subscriptions & playlists, will they be deleted as well, for ever?!

    @Donnie
    I spent a few hours on this until i came across a YT page with some fine print at the bottom clearly stating that the accounts recovery options have been “RETIRED”

    I didn’t even have a gmail/google account and they messed up my yt account any way.

    July 22, 2011 at 7:31 am

    Hey!
    I was a bit pissed when I closed my account and the user was the best one open.
    Now though I closed the account. I can’t make a new account with that user.
    So, here I tried to reopen it, and it says “Please make sure the username you’re entering is not invalid or suspended. You can check this by going to the following URL after replacing ‘USERNAME’ with your username: http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME”

    So I typed in the Username, “ZanePrinceton” and the email.
    After that, “Thank you for contacting us”, comes up.

    I go to “http://www.youtube.com/user/ZanePrinceton”.
    And it says, “This channel is no longer available because the user closed their account.”
    Obviously, I’m not understanding the directions.
    Please help!

    I deleted my old YouTube account, along with my old, Gmail/Google account.

    I created a new Google account and a new YouTube account.

    In YouTube, while searching for some of my old favorite YouTube videos, in the search results I found my old Playlists from my old account. They weren’t deleted with my old account. I couldn’t access my old account, but apparently, YouTube doesn’t remove your old Playlists.

    I then clicked on the Playlist button on the search results page to pull up all the Playlists… I clicked on my old Playlist to load it. It began playing the first video in the Playlist… at the bottom of the screen, I clicked on Options, then Save As New Playlist… entered a New Playlist name… clicked on Save… and whallah! My old Playlist was saved to my New Account.

    The trick is to find your old Playlists so you can save them to your new account. I hope this helps someone. Good Luck.

  58. fr0styBH says

    January 23, 2011 at 3:02 pm

    Hi,
    To everyone that is wondering how long it takes for your account to be re-activated, the estimated time is 3-4 days.

    @Swerty, your accout was probably deleted for violating copyright (by uploading the music vide)

  59. Jessica says

    January 12, 2011 at 3:23 am

    I did what you told me to do, it still says permanently deleted. How long does it take before it restores?

  60. muffinizer1 says

    January 5, 2011 at 7:56 am

    @Swerty
    Did somebody else use your computer, if so, they could have done it without even realizing it by logging on themselves and accidentally clicking remember me.

  61. aamit wraj says

    January 1, 2011 at 12:57 pm

    Youtube/Gmail integration has always been a tricky affair for all of me…I even messed up with my other accounts…to fix all this,I frantically all the usernames at Youtube to recreate everything right from the scratch…But I had no hint if this could be restored…yet another crappy affair…but the above post helped it a lot !!!
    Three Cheers for it 🙂

    Hi, I did exactly what you said and it worked. But my account is still not reactivated. Now what? How long do I have to wait for YouTube to reactivate my account? Your help is much appreciated.

  69. Zimm says

    December 22, 2010 at 5:29 pm

    I forgot my username and my password to my youtube account, so it tried the one that asks you e-mail for your username, it keeps on saying “Unkown e-mail: the email you entered is not entered on to the system, please try again.” I tried making an account with the same email but it says it has been used for an account. What’s the problem? Need solutions. Tnx.

  70. Gautam says

    December 21, 2010 at 7:12 pm

    @Mimz – Did they delete your account with Zwinky? They cannot delete Zwinky, because Zwinky will be hosted on other servers and no one else other than admin will have rights to those servers.

    Can you please elaborate on the issue you are facing. Thanks.

  71. mimz says

    December 21, 2010 at 6:38 pm

  73. Gautam says

    December 17, 2010 at 11:49 pm

    @Sean – Was this email linked to YouTube account previously ? This works only for those email ids to which YouTube was linked and later deleted. For fresh ones you have to register from start.

  74. sean says

    December 17, 2010 at 10:56 pm

    Hi I did the steps and when I go to the site is says there is no such user, and when I go to my email it is just a thanks for registering email and the only link is a 2 min video and some other stuff about what I can do on youtube.

  75. Gautam says

    December 11, 2010 at 6:16 pm

    @David – I doubt if you can re-open your account if you do not know your google account email address. Do you atleast remember the e-mail id ?

  76. David Moore says

    December 11, 2010 at 11:49 am

    I don’t remember my google account address so is it possible to reopen said youtube account?

  77. muffinizer1 (muffinhozer1) says

    December 9, 2010 at 3:11 am

    Hi, i didn’t delete my account, my password was saved, and then my friend saved his passwords, then the cookies had an epic battle, and apparently his won. I went through the steps, now what…

  78. Gautam says

    December 6, 2010 at 1:06 pm

    If you open another account with the same name, you’ll not have any links from the previous upload, however, your friends might just get back and send messages again. Think about it.

  79. Ryukrieger says

    December 6, 2010 at 12:46 pm

    I just want to ask, I deleted my account yesterday and I want to use that name for another account (my friends have been bothering me for that account since I always into things and such, so I just want to close it for a while).
    I close it yesterday and it seems they have quiet down, but I don’t want to reopen that account since they all know the links to my old videos, I want to create another account with the same name, is that possible?

  80. Akuhei Ryoku says

    December 4, 2010 at 2:00 am

    All I got was it saying it never existed when clearly it did

  81. SF says

    November 7, 2010 at 7:01 pm

    anyone tell me how much time does it take to recover the youtube account??

  82. SF says

    November 7, 2010 at 6:58 pm

    i just want my original youtube username back thats it.

  83. Gautam says

    October 24, 2010 at 5:58 pm

    @Luke – Please wait till they get back to you.

  84. luke says

    October 24, 2010 at 12:26 pm

    Hi so I went to the help center and went to the reopen account stuff and entered my username and email address that I used for the account I deleted and then it says “Thank you for contacting us”. Should I try to log in right after that or should I wait 24-72 hrs as the first answer said?

  85. Freddy says

    October 7, 2010 at 8:13 pm

    Hmm I see that I got it wrongly formulated as I was actually thinking og the account, but I guess it counts for both. How could a channel be available for public use if it’s not owned by anyone btw? Thanks for your reply 🙂

  86. Gautam says

    October 7, 2010 at 7:26 am

    @Freddy – Normally, when the user is deleted the channel also gets deleted from your account. However, the channel might be available for public use, but not under your name. The only way to figure out is by regaining access to your YouTube account.

  87. Freddy says

    October 7, 2010 at 5:50 am

    Hey, would you happen to know about how much time you got before your channel is definitely deleted? I mean, I suppose if I asked youtube after 1 month to restore my account, it wouldn’t really happen. I just wonder this, as I in fact would like to restore my account after 3 months. stupidily I miss the videos there and so on…

  88. Gautam says

    October 6, 2010 at 11:54 pm

    @Crackhead – Yes, you can add them as friends account. It’s just as simple as, you unfriended them for whatever personal reasons, and now you are friend’ing them again 🙂

  89. CRACKHEAD says

    October 6, 2010 at 11:53 pm

    Thanks, trying to get my old account.
    One question: I “lost” my “friends”, but do I still have the possibility to add them as friend again??? Just asking . . . that was a dumb question, but I don’t remember.

  90. Gautam says

    October 6, 2010 at 1:13 pm

    @Rina – You can get your account back, but the chances of recovering the content in your account is very doubtful.

  91. rina says

    October 6, 2010 at 10:08 am

    Is it possible to get youtube account back even if you deleted??

  92. Gautam says

    October 5, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    @Mari – The chances that the videos will be still available are very slim. However, if you did not make those videos private, then chances are, you still might find them on YouTube. You can only hope and test your luck. Keep me posted about how it goes and Good luck!

  93. Mari says

    October 5, 2010 at 10:47 pm

    I want to reopen my account because the videos I uploaded where saved on a computer of mine that crashed and I wasn’t able to recover the videos from the hard drive. My hopes were that I could reopen it to get my videos back because there were some important ones but I had to delete my account. From my understanding, those videos will no longer be there though as you say….am I reading correctly?

  94. Nick says

    October 5, 2010 at 6:30 am

    How Long Is It Until They Send You An Email? Is It Immediatly Or In THe Next Day Or SO ?

  95. Gautam says

    May 20, 2010 at 1:25 pm

    @Nestor – Translated version from Spanish
    “I wanted to remove a video that was uploaded canceled in the list of my up and instead of making it to erase to erase video I put that list and I were all I had in that list you tube to put this warning should you want to delete the video in question or you want to delete the entire list that’s a you tube error in failing to put warning messages”

  96. nestor says

    May 19, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    quise borrar un video que fue subida cancelada en la lista de mis subidas y en lugar de ponerla en borrar video la puse en borrar esa lista y se me fueron todos los que tenia en esa lista you tube deberia de poner esta advertencia usted desea borrar el video en cuestion o usted desea borrar la lista entera ese es un error de you tube en no poner mensajes de advertencias

    This wouldn’t be happening if youtube was smart enough to send a confirmation e-mail to confirm that you want to infact delete the account. Youtube’s current method is dangerous, a compromised account can easily be deleted at will because no confirmation is required…..youd think youtube would know better, thats just sad.

    @Andreas – So how did you manage to create an account with you tube then ?

  107. Andreas says

    January 26, 2010 at 4:54 am

  108. Gautam says

    @Andreas – Do you remember the mail id your username was linked with ? If it is your present gmail account, then you can go to your Google Accounts and access YouTube from there.

    That’s not at all true that all information related to the account will be deleted. I’ve seen 2 people in the last month close their account, and then a few days later the account is reopened, and it looks exactly as it did before it was closed. Comments, friends, pictures – everything.

    You should update your information.

    Hi,

    Youtube support had sent email to me saying my deleted account has been restored. But when I tried to log in numerous times – I can’t, it directs me back to the youtube homepage with a tag at the top asking me to ‘Please check your username’. Funny coz I know i signed in the correct username. I’ve always signed in (prior to me deleting my account) using my gmail google account (the same one when I created the account and log in as well).

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    @Renzel – Any meta data related to the user will be deleted, when you delete your account, Which means, except for your username, all other details related to you – your videos, comments, friends, subscribers, favorite, everything will be deleted.

  125. Renzel says

    June 4, 2009 at 4:53 pm

    Video and comment can’t be restored, Right?
    But how about Friends, Subscriber and favorite? Can be restore?

  126. Gautam H N says

    Normal process takes anywhere from 24 – 72 hrs. In unique cases where YouTube staff finds something fishy, it can take upto 14 days.
