In addition, the platform is developing. A convenient mobile application has appeared that works on both tablets and smartphones. It also has a high-quality and well-designed interface that attracts many people.

Sometimes an application needs to be uninstalled. The need arises for various reasons. What should you do to remove the application and why might it be necessary?

Is it possible to permanently delete YouTube from Android?

Let's talk about how to delete YouTube if it is not deleted from the phone. And right away it will hardly leave your gadget easily. What else can you expect from an operating system manufacturer's application? Another thing is that, depending on the device manufacturer, removal can become a really big problem - you will need to obtain root rights. This, for those who didn’t know, is gaining superuser status who can do almost everything with the phone.

We recommend reading the article on how you can delete a Telegram account from Android and iPhone.

Why delete YouTube from your phone

Uninstalling a program may be necessary for various reasons, ranging from the fact that there is little space on the phone to the fact that glitches occur in the utility itself.

When a user opens an application, it can take up a lot of space. Having free MB is important for older devices and their models to free up space for applications so that they do not lag.

YouTube in general takes up a lot of space on your phone. This program weighs a lot, and during use it can accumulate a cache. To get rid of it, you can uninstall the program itself, do not worry about it in the future, use the browser version of the utility.

The program may also experience glitches. Most often this concerns older devices that simply do not run the program. An example is that smartphones may not support the phone's operating system at all. Then you definitely have to remove the program, which can free up space for the phone to work faster.

Sometimes a person needs to delete not the program itself, but the account that is attached to it. You can also delete your own channel. You can do all this with a simple device.

As you can see, there are not many reasons to remove YouTube from your phone. The main ones are that you need free space on your phone, you don’t like the application and are not using it, or there are various problems with it that are difficult to get rid of on your own.

Instructions on how to remove YouTube from Android without obtaining root rights

So, let's start with something simple - no root. Like having no hands. First, of course, try to deal with the application icon in the same way as with other similar ones. Perhaps everything will work in your case, and you will not need to read this article further. Have you tried it? Didn't it work out? Well, it’s okay, we will definitely find a solution. Let's move on to a more labor-intensive method.

We get developer rights. To do this, open the “About phone” item in the settings, find the line with the build number and click 5-7 times.
Let's go to the developer options.
If they are not enabled, enable them.
We return to the main menu and click on “Security”.
On modern versions of the operating system, the required “Device Administrators” item will be in the “Location and Protection” section. For older Androids, the details may differ, but the item will be called either “Device Administrator Applications”.
If YouTube is in the list, uncheck all the boxes on it - after tapping on it, the parameters that it controls will open. After doing this, you may be able to remove it.

There is another way, but this is not deletion in the literal sense. Open YouTube settings under "Applications" in your phone settings. Here you need to click “Disable”. After this, the icon will disappear from the device menu, and the program itself will be cleared of data and reset to its original version. But you can always return everything by going to settings and turning it on.

How to delete a YouTube account

There are situations when you need to delete your YouTube account on your Android phone. Note that we are talking about deleting a Google profile, because YouTube is tied to it. In such circumstances, it is enough to log out of your account. Remember that after completing the steps below, you will be “thrown out” from other Google applications on your smartphone, for example, mail, maps, etc. To avoid this, you can enable incognito mode in the YouTube application.

To log out of your account, take the following steps:

Click on the circle at the top right.

Select the Change account option.

Click on Manage Accounts and select Sign Out.
Register the account you plan to delete.
Click Remove account.

After this, you can log into another profile, and later return to the old account, if necessary.

Uninstalling YouTube via root

Now let's talk about how to do your dirty work on a rooted device. Yes, this is not the same as the developer status - the second only opens up some hidden functions of the operating system, and the root allows you to do whatever you want with the system, and in most cases deprives you of the warranty for a freshly purchased gadget.

Let's say you have these mysterious rights. What to do next? Download Titanium Backup - this is a cool application manager that will allow you to conveniently and quickly get rid of unnecessary junk. It's worth unlocking the superuser just for that. Small instructions:

Install and open the program.
Go to the “Backups” tab.
Here the items in the list are highlighted in different colors. White is what you installed yourself, red is system, and yellow and green should never be touched unless you want to disrupt the operation of the device. Click on the desired application, in this case it is YouTube.
In the window that opens, select “Delete”. And we are happy - everything worked out. All that remains is to check some other program to see if there are any temporary files left that the video hosting “forgot” on your device.

Second way

Go to settings. Here, find the “About phone” (or “About tablet”) section.

Next, tap on the build number 7 times - this way you will open the developer mode, which we need (details here).

After opening this section, it will appear in the settings:

Go into it and check the box next to “USB Debugging”.

Next, in the settings, click on the “Security” section and find the “Device Administrators” item.

Here you will see a check mark for an application that cannot be removed in the usual way.

Simply uncheck the box, then click Disable.

The application can now be uninstalled as usual.

I think I don't want to share youtube video

I don't want to share youtube videos in my android app. But when I click on the youtube logo in youtube playe the link goes to the youtube website.

So how can I hide youtube logo in youtube player.Please suggest some ideas.

I think I don't want to share youtube video

2 answers

I am using the 'angualr-youtube-embed' directive to embed youtube player in my angular web app. In this I have to identify the play, pause and volume change events. To listen to playback and pause events I use the code below.

I have integrated YouTube player into my application. The problem is that the YouTube logo shows up in the player and when I click on it it goes to the YouTube app. Is it possible to remove the YouTube logo from the player? If not, is it possible to remove the click event on the YouTube logo? Thank you.

I don't know what style you want, but you can use YouTube Player as an activity, fragment or view. So you can easily customize your player using the new YouTubePlayer API. If you need some simple youtube player with full screen mode (no title mode).

See below links:

Try this:

your problem will be solved.

Instructions for deleting via phone

Having figured out the reasons, you can move on to the removal guide via smartphone. But it's worth saying right away that there are three methods, each of which cannot be performed in the YouTube application, so you will need to use a web browser.

Method 1: in YouTube settings

If you want to get rid of the channel, you can do this directly in the video hosting settings. To do this, follow these steps:

Open YouTube and log in to your account.
Click on the profile icon and select “Settings”.
In the sidebar, go to the "Advanced Settings" section.
Click the "Delete" button.

After this, you will need to enter a password and follow further instructions. After some time, the channel will disappear, and along with it all the content that was uploaded.

Method 2: via Google+

There is a second method, which involves deleting Google+. The fact is that video hosting is part of it. This is done quite simply on the profile page:

Go to your Google+ account website in your browser.
On the sidebar, click on the “Settings” section.
Go all the way down.
Click on the “Delete Google+ profile” button.

Immediately after this, a window will open in which you need to check the box next to “Confirm” and click the “Delete” button. Along with the Google+ account, the previously created project on YouTube will also disappear.

Method 3: Delete Google Account

Due to the fact that the YouTube channel is linked directly to your Google account, deleting the latter will entail the disappearance of your profile on the video hosting site. Of course, all profiles of other Google services will be erased along with it.

Go to your account settings page.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
Expand the “Delete account and data” drop-down menu.
Check the box next to the acceptance of liability agreement and confirm your actions by clicking “Delete account.”

After completing all the steps, the profile will be erased, and along with it the YouTube channel. It is worth understanding that they will not be subject to restoration, so think a hundred times before following the instructions.

How to remove system apps on Android without root rights

If you are looking for information on removing system applications from your device, then this is a useless job. For a long time I tried to find ways and means to get to APK files installed with the system, without using ROOT rights.

I tried various applications and programs, but everything is pointless. In the best case, you will only be able to disable the system application, but nothing more. You cannot get into the possession of the Android system without root rights. Don't waste time and don't look.

If you absolutely need to remove the application, get root or try the Debloater program to disable it (watch video).

Download Debloater from the 4PDA forum

How to clear your search history

The search history stores a huge number of queries. Deleting each of them individually is not the most interesting thing. Of course, you can start selectively getting rid of unnecessary information, but it will be easier to clear everything at once.

The operation is performed in literally two clicks, and the detailed instructions are as follows:

Open YouTube.
Go to your profile section.
Click the Settings button.
Open the "History and Privacy" section.
Tap on the “Clear search history” heading.

Just like that, in less than a minute, you will immediately make your query history completely empty. This will lead to the fact that no stranger will be able to find out what videos the owner of the device has recently searched for.

How to remove system applications with root rights

You can remove system applications with root (obtaining root rights below) rights using applications specially created for this purpose.

1.The first application for Android is called “Removing system applications”. Very easy to use. What is required of you is two clicks: mark, delete.

Here, upon startup, the device is analyzed, and then a list of system applications is displayed.

Additional downloaded applications can only be removed after purchasing the version.

– unsafe to delete

This is a big plus, as it reduces the chance of harming the device.

Before deleting, I advise you to look for information to see if deleting the application you have chosen will harm the system.

If you suddenly deleted the application and noticed incorrect operation of the system, return to the trash and restore the application.

2. The second application called “Delete Application”. It is divided into two groups: “System” and “User-loaded”

There are no warnings here, since in the “System” section, unlike the previous application, there are only those that can be removed without damaging the Android OS.

But still, don’t let your guard down. By deleting, for example, the Google Play Services application, you can lose control of all Google services.

There is no recycle bin and there is no quick way to restore it.

How to get ROOT rights

Now, as promised, a little about superuser rights.

For myself, I chose the Kingo ROOT program, do not confuse it with King ROOT. They do the same job, but the first one had more positive reviews and works on more devices.

You can download Kingo ROOT here or search online.

1. After launching the application, you need to uncheck the box next to “Install recommended app” so as not to install related applications.

2. Watch the rooting process.

3. You get results. If the result is negative, do not despair, try again.

In my case, I managed to root it the fourth time.

To make sure I received superuser rights, I used the Root Checker or AIDA64 application to check.

Good luck in deleting system applications and obtaining super-user rights.

Method No. 5 Deleting video through court

What to do if all the methods described above do not help? And unwanted videos continue to plague your life?

In such a case, there is a cardinal solution - to file a complaint in court.

To avoid being rejected in court, the preparation of the complaint should be entrusted to a professional lawyer.

And if the court makes a positive decision in your favor, with the received court ruling you can safely contact the YouTube administration with a request to remove the unwanted video.

For all organizations operating on the territory of the Russian Federation, court decisions are binding.

You can sue YouTube remotely in American courts. To file a complaint in this case, you will need the competent assistance of a lawyer with experience in foreign jurisdictions.

On the computer

So, to delete a YouTube account on your computer, you will need to perform a number of steps. The process is significantly different from, for example, deleting an Instagram post, therefore, to successfully complete the task, you should carefully follow it step by step.

Open the YouTube main page, find the account icon at the top right and click on it. Click “Manage Google Account” to go to the corresponding control panel.

In the window that opens, open the “Data and Personalization” tab. You can select it at the top left. Find the item “Your actions and data”, then click “Go to your Google account” to open the full settings.

After loading the next page, find the “Youtube History” item, open the drop-down list and click on the vertical ellipsis at the bottom right.

The next step is to select “Remove YouTube from account”.

Confirm the action by entering the password in the window that appears. Delete YouTube by clicking on the trash can icon to the right of the corresponding item.

After this, Google will again prompt you to enter your password to confirm your actions. Let's do it. After confirming the actions, a window will appear to select what to delete. Open the drop-down list and check the boxes next to all the items that are available

Do not pay attention that there is only one item in the screenshot. The account was created for experimental purposes and therefore contains virtually no data.

You may have more ticks.

Finally, click the “Delete my content” button. After this, we confirm the action again, as Google asks.

That's all, the entry has been deleted. To confirm the completed manipulations, a message about the running removal process will appear on the screen.

Please note that you can completely delete your YouTube account only by getting rid of your Google account. Unfortunately, there is no other way yet, and your option shown is the closest possible process to this.

Is it possible to restore YouTube on a phone?

Some data that a user deletes cannot be recovered. At the same time, access to other information will be restored. It all depends on how exactly and what the user deleted on his device.
