YouTube Question What to do with these 7 videos?

I am a brand new channel and before I really got my feet wet in how to use these various SEO tools
I made about 7 videos just to get myself going. Let me be clear, the videos I am talking about are not
SHORTS, but they are only 2:30-5 minutes long each, so I am not talking about really long videos here!

So, I am wondering if this might be a great opportunity for a few different things for me and I am just
thinking out loud here and am looking to see if I can get some feedback if I am on the right track and
right frame of mind here, or, should I be thinking in some other way.

So, here I go... I have a story to tell ...

I am going to tell you everything I have done since I started making videos.

What I am learning is that where I should start (at least some would say) is the video title. That is because
I have done my keyword searching so I know eactly what the title of the video will be and then from there I
will have what I will need to know for the next steps which are the planning, production, post production, etc
until I have my final video, etc......

So, now, in the case that I already have completed videos, to be honest, I could have done a lot more research
and been much better prepared. I know that during the filming of these I was really struggling with my space
where I was going to be doing my filming because I only have a 400 square foot apartment. I have since re-arranged
my furniture (which I wanted to do anyways!) and have improved my filming area or at least am well on the way!
I painted the wall so it is not the typical white wall that you find in the apartment.

Which leads me to the next and most important part ....

Should I take these 7 videos and say one at a time re-do them? But this time, take the main topic of each video and basically
start from scratch and since I only have 7 videos, to just use the entire experience as a learning experience?

As I do re-do each video, just put the old one in PRIVATE status so I don't loose the few views I did get which is about the mid 20's
off of each one. Let me be clear, I am NOT looking to re-do these videos because of lack of views! The ONLY reason for thinking
about re-doing them is because of lack of planning in the first place and not knowing how to do the SEO process!

In these videos I had no script, not much research, I just started talking. They are on subjects I know a little bit about, so I was
comfortable talking about what I knew about each one.

Since I only have 20 views on each of these videos and they are essentially doing NOTHING at all right now... I mean ZERO (0)!
would it really be best to delete them or just leave them in private status?

So ... What do you all think I should do?

Option 1- Leave them as they are and just move on to new topics and use what I've learned on those ?
Option 2- Take the time to re-record the videos I have after doing more SEO / research first (Maybe come back to these later) ?

I don't consider these subject super critical to my channel, but I would just like the videos to be right!

Since I can't see how to edit my post, what I meant to say is under the case of option #1 to come back to them later...not for option #2 ..

In my opinion fwiw..... you're just starting out so either way it's really not going to impact your channel. My personal feeling is leave them and either re-do them with fresh ideas or create new content. I think subs love to go back over time and see channel's earlier videos. :)

OK, great! Thanks for taking the time to read my post and offering your opinion!
