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!.
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.
Return to the question and on the tool bar at the bottom find the pencil icon and click the delete option.
You may need to switch to the desktop mode
Under certain circumstances you can ask the Answers Team to delete resolved questions and answers. An example would be if you gave out sensitive personal information etc.
If the question is open, you can delete it through the edit function (little pencil icon next to the question when you open it). If in voting or resolved, the question belongs to Yahoo and not you. Therefore you can not delete them. You sometimes can get the team to delete one, maybe two if you ask very nicely, with pretty please, and give a good reason, such as you put your phone number in it. But it may take a while and they will not always do it. Write them at

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, phone numbers, address etc).
