I attempted to remove my YouTube account due to a problem with having no videos, but now the system keeps refusing and warns about deleting data. What should I do next?

The sole person capable of resolving this might be YouTube itself.
However, if you were removing it, your attempt to return seems puzzling.

I tried to modify my username but couldn't find the right option, so I chose to remove the channel which would eliminate the @ symbol, allowing me to rename it. That was just my impulsive thinking leading to unexpected results. It's also good that this happened for my main account too, which is a nice thing.

No, I wouldn't like to do that since I already use Yahoo. Could I instead create a new YouTube account linked to my main Yahoo account? Also, is there any information on how long it takes to delete YouTube data?

When it mentions "Deleting Youtube Data," does it refer to removing every video you've ever watched? Since it takes a few days for a large amount of data to be cleared, are you experiencing unnecessary stress or did I make a significant mistake? It seems likely I misled the deletion process—after starting it, I checked the only comment left and realized it wasn’t gone, so I deleted it myself. Then it kept showing errors about being unable to access YouTube. The issue is that this should not take so long. My channel was mostly empty, had just one comment, a few pinned items, and about two to three years of videos. I’m hoping it’s just the volume of content, but given my poor timing, it probably isn’t.

For the record, I adjusted the phrasing while keeping the original meaning and tone intact.

After struggling for roughly an hour to access YouTube on various devices, I finally gave up. About three hours after restarting my laptop, it worked again. The lesson was clear: patience pays.
