Answer

Sign in with the Google Account and YouTube channel that posted the comments, open Comment History, then visit, edit, or delete your own entries.

Choose the correct Google Account

Open YouTube and confirm the profile picture and Google Account used when the comments were posted. If the account manages more than one YouTube channel, switch to the relevant channel identity as well. Comment history is account-specific, so an empty list often means the wrong account or channel is active rather than that YouTube lost every comment.

Open YouTube Comment History

Use YouTube's History controls and open Comments, or follow the official Comment History link described by YouTube. Keep the account signed in on youtube.com and avoid extensions or third-party “comment finder” sites that request Google credentials or broad account access.

Understand what the list contains

The history shows public comments made by that account where YouTube can still link to the original content. Comments on deleted videos, comments removed by YouTube or a channel owner, and some content that is no longer available will not necessarily appear. It is not a complete export of every comment ever typed.

Return to the original comment

Select a listed comment to open its original video and thread. Allow the page to load before searching the thread, because replies and sorting can affect what appears around it. If the video is private, removed, age-restricted, or unavailable to the current account, the comment may not be viewable in context.

Edit or delete only your own comment

From the original comment's menu, choose Edit or Delete when that action is still available. Review edited text before saving and understand that deletion is not a reversible archive action. If you need a record for your own files, save the relevant text and context before deleting it without copying other people's private information.

Troubleshoot missing comments

First switch among Google Accounts and channel identities you control. Then check whether the original video still exists and whether the channel owner or YouTube removed the comment. If the history page itself fails, try a supported browser, disable only a confirmed interfering extension, and check YouTube Help; do not grant account access to a scraper promising to reconstruct deleted comments.
