All you can do is hope it is reported as a violation . Even resolved questions can be removed that way. A slim chance and possibly a waste of time since your question is asked several times every day, try emailing the YA team explaining as to why it should be deleted

But if your question is closed (Best answer chosen, or it has gone to voting), then you can not delete you can NOT delete the question. The same applies to your answers to other users questions. Once closed or resolved, all questions and answers become the property of Yahoo! and remain on the site permanently in the categories in which they were placed.
You can only do that if it's Your question and not yet in voting. Once a question has been resolved it becomes the property of Yahoo answers and cannot be deleted. That is part of the rules of the site which you agreed to when you signed up.
Only open questions may be deleted. Once they are in voting or resolved, they become the property of Yahoo and go to their archives. They even stay there if you quit YA entirely.

Option: According to the YAT (yahoo team) questions may be deleted upon request by you which are violating the TOS or community guidelines. One example: if a YA newbie asks to send info to his/her mail account and posts the factual mail address, he may realize too late that spammers start flooding his mail account after finding the address on YA. In that case a mail could be sent to: [email protected] (the missing e is intentional), the mail should include a link to the question which you'd like to get deleted with an explanation for the reason why.
you get to your question, then put the mouse over the pencil that says edit. a list will form below it scroll down until you see delete question. that is if it is your question, but if you want to delete someone elses question, the only way you could do that is to report it if it does not follow the community guidelines or is illegal.
