title: Deleting duplicate videos
body: <p>We have roughly 28,000 failed uploads in our YouTube account because they are all duplicates with the <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/58139?hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Upload failed: Duplicate upload">Upload failed: Duplicate upload</a> message.  Whenever I attempt to remove these using the YouTube Data API, it returns the following message for each: <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/delete#errors" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="notFound (404)">The video that you are trying to delete cannot be found. Check the value of the request's id parameter to ensure that it is correct</a>.</p>
  
  <p>We have the video ids listed in our database and they correspond to the videos marked as duplicates.  How can I delete these without having to manually go through and delete them 30 at a time through the Creator Studio?</p>
