If you delete a video, your views and hours go with it.

@KS Moto Cafe is exactly right because I just turned all my videos private on my channel because I'm changing the direction of the channel and it had 3500 views at the time. Now it shows -3500 views. Now does that mean my channel starts over from 0 or does it start counting down the negative 3500 which means I'm 3500 in the hole now. So I have to get "back" 3500 views just to get back to 0? Who knows? I don't for sure at this time. But I'll find out and then I'll have information on this for others in the future. At least from my experience.
