There are numerous ways to delete a comment on YouTube, including highlighting, reporting, and deleting. You can also hide a comment. However, you must remember that when you delete a comment, it will also delete all responses. If you&#8217;re looking for a way to report an inappropriate comment on YouTube, you should read this article.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_youtube_comment\"><\/span>Editing a youtube comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve made a comment on a YouTube video and then wish to remove it, you can use the Edit a YouTube comment feature to locate it and delete it. You can find your deleted comments by searching for the video that has been tagged with the comment. You can then delete the comment by clicking the link in the video or on the comments. The word EDIT will be highlighted when you&#8217;ve edited the comment.<\/p>\n<p>To edit a YouTube comment, simply log into your account. Choose the video that has the comment you wish to remove and click on the three vertical dots to the right of the comment. You&#8217;ll see the video&#8217;s comments listed in the right-hand column. Tap on the comment you&#8217;d like to delete and a text box will appear with the words &#8216;Comment Deleted&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve deleted the comment, it will be gone forever.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighting_a_youtube_comment\"><\/span>Highlighting a youtube comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Highlighting a YouTube comment to delete will let you make it more visible for the person viewing the video. By doing so, you can reply to it without having to scroll through your email inbox. You can also find highlighted comments on your YouTube dashboard or email inbox. Depending on the settings on your YouTube account, you can choose to make the comment private or public. To highlight a YouTube comment for deletion, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed a highlighted comment on a video because you click on the notification bell icon on the YouTube dashboard. These comments are automatically generated by YouTube and include a unique URL, which allows you to easily navigate the comment thread. By clicking on the highlighted comment, you can easily delete it. However, it is also possible to highlight multiple comments and leave them all. This will allow you to highlight the best ones for deletion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_rid_of_your_own_comments\"><\/span>Getting rid of your own comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting rid of your own YouTube comments is a simple and effective way to refresh your personal online reputation and improve your YouTube experience. By deleting comments and views from your videos, you are giving yourself control over how others view your content. Remember, the internet doesn&#8217;t forget, so you shouldn&#8217;t let others control your online reputation. Here are some steps to remove old YouTube comments and views. Use them sparingly and delete only the ones you want to see.<\/p>\n<p>Log into your YouTube account and locate your channel. Once you have found the channel you wish to delete comments on, click the &#8220;Comments&#8221; link to view your comments. Find the comment you want to delete, and then hover over it to see the &#8220;X&#8221; or flag icon. Once you have chosen to remove the comment, you can continue with your content creation. After you delete comments from the past, you can still post them again to your own channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_inappropriate_comments_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Reporting inappropriate comments on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a member of YouTube, you&#8217;ve likely encountered some questionable comments in the comments section. Fortunately, there are a few easy steps for reporting these comments. First, hover over the comment in question. This will reveal the three dots in the right corner of the comment. When you hover over the comment, choose &#8220;Report spam or abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The process for reporting comments is the same on the YouTube mobile app as it is on the desktop website. Unless you&#8217;re seeing something particularly offensive, you should choose a reason for reporting. If several users have already reported the comment, it will be flagged as spam. Ultimately, the video uploader has the final say in deleting the comment, so they have the option to remove it. While reporting comments on YouTube is simple, it does have unpleasant consequences for the video uploader. To report a comment, you need to be on a computer. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, you can only report videos on YouTube through the mobile app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>Hide your YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have received a malicious YouTube comment, you may wish to hide your YouTube channel and make it private. Doing so will shadow-ban the offending user, but will not affect other users. In addition, hiding your YouTube channel will keep it private forever, making it impossible to see comments made by others. You can also use the YouTube Studio&#8217;s comment filters to block specific words or users. This will prevent unwanted comments from appearing in your channel.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to hiding your YouTube channel is to sign in to your account using your Google account. If you are using more than one account, make sure to sign into the correct one. Next, select your profile picture. Finally, click Hide my channel. This will remove all comments from your channel. But don&#8217;t worry, if you have already made some videos on YouTube, you can always remove the unwanted comments again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a YouTube Comment If you&#8217;re wondering how to delete a YouTube comment, you&#8217;re not alone.
