No, YouTube Is Not Deleting Old Videos.
Fear not! While the new policy will be purging inactive accounts, videos previously uploaded to YouTube via former members will still remain on the platform.
If you see the "Video removed" message next to one of your uploaded videos, it means the video has been found to violate our policies and has been taken off YouTube.
If you delete a video, it's permanently deleted — you can't recover it through YouTube. If you'd like to watch the video in the future, make sure you have a backup saved. Sign in to YouTube Studio.
You can choose to delete your YouTube search and watch history automatically after a certain amount of time. On your computer, go to your Google Account. On the top left panel, click Data & privacy.
Does YouTube automatically delete watch history? Yes. For accounts created after 2020, YouTube automatically deletes the watch history after 36 months (3 years). Users can change this timeframe from their settings and can even pause or disable YouTube watch history altogether if they so desire.
YouTube watch history makes it easy to find videos you recently watched and improves your video recommendations. You can control your watch history by clearing or pausing your history. Any videos that you watch while history is paused won't show in your history. They also won't be used to improve your recommendations.
If your live stream is less than 12 hours, YouTube can automatically archive it for you. This option applies to all types of live streams - including: encoder, webcam, and mobile. YouTube will also automatically archive streams of 1440p and 2160p (4K) video resolution.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, a total of approximately 5.66 million videos were removed from the Google-owned video-sharing platform YouTube. This includes videos that had been automatically flagged for violating the platform's community guidelines.

Past Broadcast
Most Twitch Partners, Prime and Twitch Turbo users will have their past broadcasts saved for 60 days before being deleted. All other broadcasters will have their past broadcasts saved for 7 days* before they are deleted.
As soon as your YouTube live stream ends, YouTube will automatically save an archive of it to your channel. You can download your previous live streams the same way you can download previously uploaded videos. Here's how to do it: Go to studio.youtube.com and make sure you're signed into the right channel.
In most cases, you will want to stream with Normal Latency, which results in a 15 to 60 second delay, depending on your bandwidth. Low Latency will result in a 5 to 15 second delay, and Ultra-Low Latency will result in a delay of 2 to 5 seconds.
Recover Permanently Deleted Videos on Android with Android Data Recovery App. If you have emptied the Recently Deleted folder or the videos and photos you want to retrieve are deleted more than 30 days ago, these items are permanently deleted from your Android phone.
When a computer deletes a file permanently, or the Recycle Bin is emptied, it is removing the reference to the file on the hard drive. Once the file header, or reference, is removed, the computer can no longer see the file. The file is no longer readable by the computer.
Note: If you are unable to find the video inside the drive, check the trash folder. The deleted files stay in the trash folder for up to 30 days after you delete them. You can recover your videos from there.
