Will deleting your Google account delete all the YouTube comments you made with it?

Question

I just deleted an alt Google account thinking it would delete all the YouTube comments I made with it. Is this true?

Answer 1

According to an old reply (from 2011) on the Official YouTube forum, no, deleting an account will not delete the comments published with that account.

Try to recover your account in order to be able to delete the comments you posted with it.

The following will be permanently deleted:
