I have a video that got a lot of views which I later deleted. People come to my channel and they see my total view count which far surpasses my actual current view count.

I would like the OPTION to be able to remove statistics from deleted videos because they do not represent the true current statistics. I say 'option' because some people will intentionally upload a video for a day and they wouldn't want to lose those views that they had earned.

I think it would be an easy feature to implement in the "Analytics" page. You would simply find the record of that deleted video (yes, you can do that) then click an option that would say "permanently delete all statistics for this video".
