    Will you lose your Google account if your Youtube channel is deleted?

    If a person abuses Youtube Terms of Service, (such as by uploading copyright content, posting spam comments on other channels), will they only get their Youtube account suspended or would Google take action and delete the associated Google account - which would delete access to the Gmail too? Not that I would willingly break Youtube TOS, but i guess it could happen by accident. And, if so, I would lose everything in my Google account - Gmail, Adsense, it's all there.

    I have never heard of anyone having their youtube channel terminated and also had their Google account closed, or being shut out from their gmail account at the same time. As stated by idealmike, that would most likely depend on the situation and the reason. I spent some time trying to find a proper answer for this topic but I couldn't manage to find one. However I did find nifty articles explaining that you could get your youtube channel reactivated again, after being punished for breaking the rules, and that you could get your content back too, so I guess they'd close your channel if you broke some of their rules and take further actions in case you did something really extreme.

    You can remove your YouTube account without deleting your Google account. I have done that in the past and it even gives me the option to create another Youtube account using the same Google account. However, you may risk getting your Google account banned if your YouTube account was deleted due to breaking one of their rules. However, this depends on the situation and which rule you have broken. I believe more serious situations can get your Google account banned. However, you should be able to create a new one. Just make sure you backup everything just in case this happens.

    I don't think you will lose your google account when your youtube channel is banned for abusing the service. You get a youtube account by default when you create a gmail account. In order to delete your entire Google account, you will have to close your Google account. When google account is deleted, you will lose access to your entire google services like youtube, gmail, blogspot (if you have created an account), google analytics etc.
