How to Remove Your Comments from YouTube

by on February 10, 2009



New this year on the popular video site YouTube.com is the ability to delete comments you once posted and now regret. To remove such a comment, login to your YouTube account, go to the “Text Comments” section below the appropriate video, and click the “Remove” button next to your comment.

There is no remove button, even when logged in.

Removing the comment still leaves a post that says, “Comment Removed”, but the post itself is still physically there. I want to retype my comment, because in the first one I made a typo.

Nope. No such button. You can either shut off all comments once the bad comment is on there or it stays. I shut off all comments, saved and then changed it back to comments only with my permission and the bad one re-appeared. So, if you once allowed open comments they stay forever? It looks like it. In facebook you can remove any comment or block any individual who is rude, etc. I see no way in Youtube to do so. Of course we can remove the whole video but that seems a shame when others like it and respect each other.

Just mouse over your comment. To the right, 3 buttons appear: Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down and ‘Reply.’ Click the arrow to the right of the Reply button and a drop down list will show. The second option is ‘Remove.’ Select this option to delete your comment!

Bad comments are a part of using YouTube, I mean, with the good comes the bad.
