Deleting a video removes it from every viewer’s watch history, which could affect future recommendations

Fine if you want to change audience, but if you just don’t want the video visible, unlisting it and removing it from playlists is the way to go!

Interesting. That also suggests a viewer who has already watched it could go back in their history to find it and watch it again. So it's mainly just gone from recommendations and new viewers, but not actually impossible to watch again, right?

  Yup! It depends on why you want to remove a video from your channel pages

  Sorry yeah, I was talking about your recommendation of unlisting *instead of* deleting. Unlisting it would only prevent new discovery of it, but wouldn't stop people from viewing it from their watch history or by sharing the link.

  Not sure what you mean? If a creator deletes on of their video, it’s gone from YouTube
