[YouTube-API] Re: how to delete a video by using only videoID

Hello Aditya,

You can retrieve a video entry by following the example here:

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html#Retrieving_Video_Entry

Because you want to be able to edit the video entry, you need to
retrieve it from the authenticated user's uploads feed, so the URL you
should use is slightly different. Use this instead:

Uri videoEntryUrl = new Uri("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/
users/default/uploads/VIDEO_ID");
Video video = request.Retrieve<Video>(videoEntryUrl);

Once you have your Video object, you can delete it:
