Hi guys, same problem here. I went into my internet browser settings and cleared my cache for Youtube. Reloaded the page and all is well. Good luck!
It's been about 7 days for me and I was deleting empty second channel, and now I can't do anything on youtube. I signed out and tried everything. All my content is there but I can't upload of anything and it's killing me. People tell me it will fix itself, but grinding to be partnered on youtube isn't easy without uploading content. Please if anyone. I mean Anyone knows anything. Please contacted me
same here, i've been waiting for over 2 weeks now though
I am Also facing this issue , plz help me ..
Same here

uuuh i cant take this even im a school youtube is unblocked
I got banned from YT simply for stating objective truth. I called CEO Susan Wojcicki a cunt on several different YT pages, but for some reason, when I went back to delete my account, she would not allow me to even access the site. Some people are so sensitive and just can't handle the actual factual truth!
no one can nowadays, forever be blunt with the truth, as will I.
To those experiencing the same thing:
I could not access my YouTube channels, even though they existed. Here's what I did:
I have other another Google account using another email address (let's call it "B").
So I went to the brands page and assigned my YouTube channels to this other "B" Google account as the Owner. Now I can have access to the channels via this other "B" account.
The brands page is here:
https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts
In that page, just click your YouTube channel and then click Manage Permissions. Assign your alternative "B" Google account as the owner, go to the "B" alternative account, accept the invitation and you're good to go!
I wish there was an alternative to youtube because of this shit
I have the error page "Sorry, we cannot sign you in to YouTube while your YouTube data is being deleted. Please try again later".
I also cannot connect to YouTube unless I use the incognito browser window. I have to bookmark my fav YT channel sites now to keep them.
There are thousands of youtube users with the same problem; youtube refuses to address the problem and says the account never existed. No telephone, email or even solution on either the Google or Youtube site. Very unprofessional. I have over 600 videos I cannot edit or send now.

Youtube really sucks. I have the same problem. Wish there was another website other than YT.
the link does not work
This sucks it doesn't work for me either
I have tried these steps also to no luck. I thought I was just deleting some videos and I believe I deleted my account.
Ditto. And yet I know the channel exists. It comes up in search. And, there are my videos. $*&# the hassle. Vimeo. However, please fix the issue Google.
Saem here, In contact with youtube chat for the past 3 days, only frustration! No solution!
