Unfortunately, once a YouTube channel is created, it cannot be deleted. However, you can take steps to help keep your channel private and secure.
1. Set the privacy settings on your channel so that only people you know and trust can view your videos.
2. Make sure all your videos are marked as "private" so they cannot be seen by the public.
