Hello! Janis

You can only delete open question. You cannot delete resolved question "The question for which best answers have been selected" . To Delete an open question just go to the question . Go to the action bar. Click the pencil icon, which say "Edit" just below your question. A menu will drop down. Click on "Delete question" To delete it. You lose 5 points when you delete an open you cannot get back the question.

If you got the answer you needed, it would be much more considerate to choose a Best Answer so the answerer whose answer you liked gets an extra 10 points.

To choose a Best Answer to your own question, go back to that question after it has been open at least an hour and before it expires in 4 days. You'll see big blue Choose as Best Answer buttons. Click one. Choose carefully, as this cannot be undone. Follow the prompts to leave a thank-you comment and a star rating. Submit your work at the bottom of the page.

If you really still want to delete your question, you must do that while the question is still open. Go back to the question and look under it for the Edit icon. It is under the question, and sometimes under all the ads that are under the question. Click on the Edit icon and then choose the Delete option.

You can't delete a question once there is a "best answer" chosen.

If there isn't a best answer chosen and there are just answers you can go to your question that you want to delete, there should be an edit button below the question, click it, and say delete question.

You might be better to choose best answer if it's still open, then you would get 3 points back however. Once resolved or in voting you can't delete them.

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

If you are too late.All you can do is hope it is reported as a violation even resolved questions can be removed that way, or 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). Check the link.

The same as above pretty much applies to your answers.

Go to the action bar below the question.

Go to Edit, and in the drop-down menu, click Delete Question.

But you have to do this when the question is open. The question can't be deleted if it is resolved or in voting.

Go to edit-> Delete question

well that's good but that's not really how this site is supposed to work. However if you really have to, you can still delete it if it's still open or in voting....however if it's resolved, it's too late to delete it

its there forever and ever
