How to Recover Deleted YouTube Videos from Playlists

When a video is deleted or made private on YouTube, it often appears in your saved playlists as [Deleted video] with no title or artist name.

  1. Copy the Link: Click on the deleted video item inside your playlist and copy its URL (e.g., youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX&list=...).
  2. Isolate the 11-Digit ID: The 11 characters immediately following v= identify the original video.
  3. Search Archive.org: Paste the full link or ID above. If the video had more than 10,000 views, chances are the Wayback crawler took a snapshot while it was still public.
  4. Search Exact Video ID in Quotes: Searching Google for "XXXXXXXXXXX" in quotation marks will uncover forum threads, tweets, and Reddit comments where people discussed or shared the video with its original title.
