Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this particular query but here goes.
I have a number of very old videos on Youtube from very old accounts. I have since lost the passwords and email details linked to these videos. I would like them removed from Youtube. Is there anyone I could contact to prove who I am and have them taken down? I mean there's nothing seriously bad with them but they are quite cringey and crap :).
Is it popssible to ask for videos like these to be removed or are they up there forever more?
 
I don't think you can they will probably have to stay up. I'm sorta in the same boat but it was another person making a cringy video because i was their first sub lol. I don't even think that person is active anymore so i can't ask them to remove it. It also ranks #1 for my username in search which is annoying.
 
Yeah it sucks. But I suppose all people who create, create crap at some stage haha. Those videos can serve as a resource to show how far we'll move on (or some other pretentious inspirational nonsense). My plan is to remove any tags from my more current/future videos that might link them to those older ones from lost accounts.
 
That SUCKS big time... Is it really true that you cant get in contact with YouTube and get old S... removed????
Lesson learned...Always remebber E-mail/password and dont uploade and dont create crap:)
 
This has happened to me too. I uploaded one or two vids that I now find super cringe, but can't access the old account I uploaded them with as the email no longer exists. The retrieve password process is tat really as it asks you what you think your last password was and when you logged in... you know... what was that password you used once 10 years ago?

It sucks man
 
Yeah. We live and learn. God advice to new youtubers would be to not upload things so quickly before thinking will I be proud of this in five years time haha. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. I'll just be more careful in furture. Speaking of being careful I should definitely have called in sick today and not came to the office stinking of booze and regret :)
 
It's quite a scary concept actually that in this case you essentially lose all control, and all right to control over your own content.
It's fine for one or two old videos that no one's going to see, but what if it happens with much more content or on other websites?
What if you lost access to your facebook and twitter? etc
