You can only delete questions that you asked, and you can only do that while they are still 'open'. Once a question is in 'voting' or has been resolved via a Best Answer being chosen, the question belongs to Y!A and is in their database forever (or until they start archiving old Q&As anyway).

You can also email Yahoo Customer services at [email protected] or [email protected] and ask for them to delete the question for you. In your email include the link to the question you want deleted, explain why you want it deleted and ask them to delete it for you

To delete your question while it's still open, go to the question page, pass your mouse over the pencil icon in the toolbar below your question, and click on Delete Question.

If you delete your entire Yahoo account, your questions and answers still remain here as part of the Y!A knowledge database.

You can only delete open questions yourself via the Edit button.

Resolved questions with a best answer and undecided questions in voting cannot be deleted by users and go into a database that can be used for searching. They can only be deleted by Yahoo!.

The deletion of resolved questions with a best answer and the deletion of undecided questions can only be done by Yahoo! if you contact them by email and the questions must be of a very personal nature that discloses some very personal details that are causing you a lot of anguish and perhaps a lot of embarrassment as well.

The relevant email addresses are [email protected] and (in Australia) [email protected]

The missing "e" in "answrs" above is intended.

If enough people report resolved questions or undecided questions in voting they will be deleted by Yahoo!.

Unfortunately, you or Yahoo! cannot delete anything that has ended up in Google and/or other websites so you need to be very careful what you post in Y!A as you never know where it might end up. Q & A can be poached from the Y!A Main Board by other websites.

Once resolved or in voting you can't delete them.

To delete a question while it's still open, go to the question , pass your mouse over the pencil icon in the toolbar below your question, click Delete Question.

All you can do is hope it is reported as a violation even resolved questions can be removed that way.You could try emailing the YA team [email protected]

explaining as to why it (they) should be deleted,. however Yahoo will only delete questions if they violate the community guidelines or reveal personal contact information (e.g. email address, full name, phone numbers, address etc).

The same as above pretty much applies to your answers.

Even if you close your account your questions and answers remain.

No it won't delete your questions or answers if you delete your account. If you want to delete a question, it has to be an open question. Just go to your asked questions, click on the question and under the description, there should be an "edit" button". Click that and an option to delete your question should come up.

I have to go to desktop mode if I'm on my cell phone. Go to your questions, click edit and click delete.
