How to Tell if Your YouTube Comment Was Deleted

Use this interactive demo to learn how to check if your YouTube comment was deleted or hidden.

Quick summary

You can tell if your YouTube comment was deleted by checking the video's comments section and comparing it against your comment history in YouTube's activity data. If a comment appears in Your YouTube Dashboard but not on the video, it has been hidden or removed.


Steps

  1. Go to youtube.com, sign in, and open the video where you left the comment.
  2. Scroll down to the comments section and look for your comment — if it does not appear, it may have been deleted by the creator or removed by YouTube.
  3. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select Your data in YouTube to check from your own history.
  4. Under Your YouTube Dashboard, select the comments section.
  5. Scroll and find your comments — if a comment appears in your activity history but not on the video, it has been hidden or deleted.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing whether a YouTube comment was deleted or simply hidden helps creators and viewers understand content moderation on the platform. YouTube can remove comments automatically for spam or policy violations, while channel owners can hide or delete individual replies without notifying the commenter. By cross-referencing the video's comment section with your personal YouTube comment history via "Your data in YouTube," you can definitively confirm whether your comment was deleted. This process gives users transparency into how YouTube comment moderation works and what actions may have triggered a removal.
