Answer 1

You can't specify same target table for update (delete) in FROM clause. So you have to use another outer query.

Try:

DELETE FROM ytpointadder
WHERE yturl IN  ( SELECT t.yturl FROM (SELECT a.yturl, a.ip from ytpointadder a
                                     JOIN watched b on b.watchedyt = a.yturl AND b.ip = a.ip
                                     Group by a.ip 
                                     ) as t 
                 ) ;

Answer 2

try this

DELETE FROM ytpointadder
WHERE yturl IN
( 
SELECT a.yturl from  ytpointadder a
JOIN watched b on b.watchedyt = a.yturl AND b.ip = a.ip
Group by a.ip;)
