How to Delete All YouTube Comments (Your Comments and Comments on Your Videos)

Last updated on April 30th, 2026 at 05:08 pm

YouTube does not have a single “delete all comments” button, but you can bulk-delete comments in two ways. To delete comments you have left on other videos, use Google’s My Activity tool to find and remove your comment history. To delete all comments on your own videos, use YouTube Studio’s comment moderation tools to select and remove them in batches.

Here are the step-by-step methods for both situations.

Quick Reference: YouTube Comment Deletion Methods

What You Want to Delete	Method	Where to Do It
Comments you left on other people’s videos	Google My Activity	myactivity.google.com
All comments on one of your own videos	YouTube Studio comment filter	studio.youtube.com

How to Delete Comments You Left on Other People’s Videos

Your YouTube comment history is stored through Google’s My Activity. This is the only way to find and delete comments you have posted across YouTube.

Method 1: Delete All Comment Activity at Once

Go to myactivity.google.com
Make sure you are signed in to the correct Google account

Click on YouTube in the list of Google products, or use the filter to select only YouTube activity
Click Filter by date & product
Select YouTube and under activity type, look for Comments
You can now see your comment history
Click Delete and choose All time to remove your entire comment history

Important: This removes the record of your comments from Google’s activity log, but it may not instantly remove the comments from the actual videos. YouTube’s systems can take time to process bulk deletions, and some comments may persist temporarily.

Method 2: Delete Individual Comments From My Activity

Go to myactivity.google.com
Filter for YouTube comment activity
Browse through your comment history
Click the X or Delete button next to individual comments you want to remove
Confirm deletion

Method 3: Delete Comments Directly From Videos

If you remember which videos you commented on:

Go to the video on YouTube
Find your comment in the comment section
Click the three-dot menu next to your comment
Select Delete
Confirm

This works for individual comments but is impractical if you have commented on hundreds or thousands of videos.

How to Delete All Comments on Your Own YouTube Videos

As a channel owner, you have full control over comments on your videos. YouTube Studio lets you moderate and delete comments in bulk.

Delete Comments From a Specific Video

Go to studio.youtube.com
Click Content in the left sidebar
Find the video and click on it
Click the Comments tab
You can now see all comments on that video
Use the checkboxes to select individual comments, or click the top checkbox to select all visible comments
Click More actions (or the trash icon) and select Remove
Confirm deletion
If there are more comments than displayed on one page, repeat the process for each page

Delete All Comments Across All Your Videos

Go to studio.youtube.com
Click Comments in the left sidebar (not through a specific video)
This shows all comments across your entire channel
Use the checkbox at the top to select all visible comments
Click Remove or the delete option
Repeat for each page of comments until all are removed

Note: YouTube Studio displays comments in pages (typically 20 to 100 at a time). For channels with thousands of comments, this process requires multiple rounds of selecting and deleting. There is no “delete all at once” button for the entire channel.

How to Disable Comments on YouTube Videos

If you want to prevent new comments entirely rather than deleting existing ones:

Disable Comments on a Single Video

Go to studio.youtube.com
Click Content and find the video
Click the pencil icon to edit
Go to Show More to expand options
Under Comments and ratings, select Disable comments
Click Save

Disable Comments on All Future Videos (Default Setting)

Go to studio.youtube.com
Click Settings in the left sidebar
Go to Community (or Defaults)
Under the default settings for new uploads, set comments to Disable comments

Save

This only affects new videos. Existing videos retain their individual comment settings.

How to Use YouTube’s Comment Moderation Tools

Instead of deleting all comments, you may want to filter and remove only specific types (spam, hate, profanity). YouTube Studio offers several moderation tools.

Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review:

Go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Community
Enable Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review
Flagged comments go to your “Held for review” tab instead of appearing publicly

Block specific words:

Go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Community
Under Blocked words, enter words or phrases you want to automatically filter
Comments containing these words are held for review or hidden automatically

Set comment moderation to approve all comments:

Go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Community (or per-video settings)

Select Hold all comments for review
Every comment must be manually approved before it appears publicly

Manage moderators:

You can add trusted users as comment moderators who can approve or remove comments on your behalf.

How to Delete YouTube Comments on Mobile

Deleting your own comments on the YouTube app:

Open the YouTube app
Find the video where you left a comment
Scroll to your comment
Long-press on your comment (or tap the three-dot menu)
Select Delete
Confirm

Managing comments on your videos (YouTube Studio app):

Download the YouTube Studio app
Open it and go to Comments
Select individual comments or use batch selection
Tap the delete/remove option
Confirm

The YouTube Studio app has fewer bulk-management features than the desktop version, so for large-scale comment deletion, the desktop YouTube Studio at studio.youtube.com is more efficient.

Can You Recover Deleted YouTube Comments?

Your own deleted comments: No. Once you delete a comment you posted, it is permanently removed. There is no undo function and no way to recover deleted comments.

Comments deleted from your videos: No. When you remove a comment from your video, it is gone. The original commenter may still see it in their activity history temporarily, but the comment is no longer visible on the video.

YouTube-removed comments: Comments removed by YouTube’s automated systems (spam detection, community guidelines enforcement) cannot be recovered by the video creator. YouTube does not notify the commenter when their comment is automatically removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete all my YouTube comments at once?

Not with a single button click. The closest method is using Google My Activity (myactivity.google.com) to delete your YouTube comment activity in bulk. For comments on your own videos, YouTube Studio allows batch selection and deletion, but you need to process them page by page.

Will deleting my comments remove my replies to other people’s comments?

Yes. Deleting a comment removes the comment and all replies beneath it if you started the thread. If you replied to someone else’s comment, deleting your reply removes only your reply — the original comment remains.

Can other people see my deleted YouTube comments?

No. Once deleted, your comment is removed from the video and is no longer visible to anyone. However, if someone screenshotted or quoted your comment before you deleted it, that copy obviously remains.

Does deleting YouTube comments affect my channel?

No. Deleting comments (yours or on your videos) does not affect your channel’s standing, monetisation, or algorithmic recommendations. Comments are not a ranking factor for videos.

How do I stop spam comments on my YouTube videos?

Enable YouTube Studio’s built-in spam filters (Settings > Community > Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review), add common spam words to your blocked words list, and consider setting comments to “Hold all comments for review” if spam is severe.

Can I delete someone else’s comment on YouTube?

Only if the comment is on your own video. As the video owner, you can delete any comment on your content. You cannot delete other people’s comments on videos you do not own — you can only report them.

Why are some of my YouTube comments disappearing automatically?

YouTube’s automated systems may remove comments that violate community guidelines, contain spam, or include flagged content. This happens without notification to the commenter. The video creator can check their “Held for review” section in YouTube Studio for comments caught by filters.

Summary

To delete comments you left across YouTube, use Google My Activity (myactivity.google.com) to find and remove your comment history in bulk. To delete comments on your own videos, use YouTube Studio’s comment moderation tools — select comments in batches and remove them page by page.

YouTube does not offer a true “delete all” button for either scenario, so bulk deletion requires some manual effort for channels with large comment volumes. For ongoing management, YouTube Studio’s moderation tools (spam filters, blocked words, held for review) are more practical than manually deleting comments one by one.
