Note: due to a bug in the "new" Blogger, the blue "YOUTUBE STUDIO" button is cut off near the upper right corner of the above image. |
As shown above, this is a list of my uploaded videos, the most recent first. In this era in which user controls are routinely hidden from users, you have to hover over a video to see the user controls (see image to the right).

Actually, in this case, I fantasized that there might be an "edit video" or "delete this video" option for each of my videos. Silly me. The popup list of "additional" options includes the two that are already displayed just above on your screen plus ONE additional new option, "Save to playlist". We all ask: why didn't they just show the "Save to playlist" icon in the first place? Answer: because users always want to have to click twice when they could have clicked just once. 🤷
My search for a delete option continued. I'll shorten the story because I did not know to click on the blue "YOUTUBE STUDIO" button. However, I now know that if you click on that button then you get a whole "new" set of tabs along the left side of your screen. The default is "Dashboard" which fills your screen with all kinds of useless information. However there are other tabs including one for "Videos". {... but I was just in the page for my videos... ???? No, silly human, you were in one of your pages for your videos, not the RIGHT ONE!}
If you click on the "Videos" tab then you get yet another list of your videos! (see below)
