These google help pages just ANNOY by saying we told you so..............

"What happens to YouTube if I delete my Google Account?
If you delete the Google Account to which your YouTube account is linked, you will delete both
the Google Account AND your YouTube account, including all videos and account data.
Deleting the Google Account your YouTube account is linked to does not unlink YouTube from the
Google Account. Your YouTube account (your Channel, videos, subscriptions etc.) will be deleted
at the same time as the Google Account.

Once a Google Account has been deleted it is very difficult to reinstate and you may not be able
to reinstate the YouTube service.

You should therefore only delete your Google Account if you're absolutely sure you that don't
want either the Google Account or the YouTube account anymore. When you go to delete your Google
Account, you'll be asked to confirm that you understand that in deleting your Google Account,
you'll also delete all other Google services linked to the Account (including YouTube)."

This has happened to other people and all you give us is a convoluted route to the above so
called help message which basically says told you so.

OK so here is how to write the help page:

GOOGLE APOLOGISE FOR LINKING YOUR SEPARATE ACCOUNTS TO THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT

IS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR DATA TO BECOME UNAVAILABLE. WE ARE URGENTLY AUTOMATING A WAY FOR YOU TO

RECOVER YOUR DATA. IF YOU EMAIL US YOUR OLD ACCOUNT NAMES WE WILL REINSTATE THEM AS A MATTER OF

URGENCY WITH YOUR OLD PASSWORDS.

WE AT GOOGLE MADE A MISTAKE, BY PUTTING IT RIGHT QUICKLY, WE HOPE YOU WILL TRUST US WITH YOUR

DATA IN THE FUTURE.

Now if you had put this into action all I would have to do is email you my old youtube user name
SKLUCKI.

Google is too big to begin replying to emails
Google is too big to begin listening to individuals
