• Archived videos ⁢– Save cherished memories or high-performing content.
• Monetization data ​– Keep records for ⁣tax or future reference.
• brand assets – URLs, thumbnails, and‍ descriptions might be useful later.

Once you confirm the ⁣deletion, all your videos, playlists,⁢ comments, and subscribers will vanish instantly.This means no traces ‌of your content, analytics, or channel ​history will remain.
