What you’re thinking of is a Content ID claim, where the video is still viewable on YouTube, but the claimant takes all the revenue. In this scenario, a person has the ability to remove the offending material.
You can’t edit or delete your way of out a takedown notice. Once YouTube receives a takedown notice they are required by law to remove the video. It’s already gone before the uploader has had a chance to respond. They then have the option to either accept the claim as valid (and a strike to their account) or file a counter notice.
If he had acted earlier and deleted the video could he have avoided this?
