Deleting Old Videos?

[The Clark Knight]

I have videos that are on my YouTube that are old and are below par with the standards I have for my recent content. Should I delete these so people only see my new content, which I consider better, or should I keep the videos since they do bring in occasional views?

I had the same and deleted them and its not had a negative effect.
Some say dont delete and just leave them.
Others say to keep them but unlist them.

I'm not exactly the best person to talk, but if it is old, I'd just leave it. It's kinda cool to watch your progression as a creator.

Could just private them. Thats what I do sometimes when I go back to my older content if I don't like it.

I would just put them as unlisted, that's what I have done to some of my videos.

Make them private. That way you can treat YT as just another way storage option.

I was about to ask the same question! I made some videos that were 30-60 seconds long If I took them down would it increase my retention rate?

What the bloody hell did you manage to do in 30 seconds? O_O I mean, what the videos are about ?

Just preview of a longer video. Like a commercial
