Yes, once you delete a video it can’t be undone. In order to get it back you would have to upload it again.

Question

How do I get someone else's video removed from YouTube?

Community Answer

You can report it if it contains something bad but if you are just doing because you don't like the video, then stop because false reports can get your account banned from YouTube.
