Before anything else, I just want to say I really tried to find my exact situation online or on the provided help links.
I’m making efforts in trying to preserve a Youtube channel that’s pending intentional deletion out of a misguided attempt to reset viewership counts with a second account. I’m a panicked beginner and I’m trying to use TubeUp within a Google Cloud VM because I lack the storage space to locally store these files and I can’t have 100% uptime on my laptop. I was messing with code I don’t fully understand and I tried to make a bunch of experiments with how the data gets uploaded to maximize storage efficiency. The bottom line is that I think that by manually deleting my failed experiments within IA that I am no longer allowed to paste over them because:
“This item is no longer available.
Items may be taken down for various reasons, including by decision of the uploader or due to a violation of our Terms of Use”.
Did I just pigeonhole myself with missing ~4 uploads? I’d like to somehow reverse my decision if possible.
Thanks in advance.
