Wrong Answer to a Question?
What do you do when you give an answer that you think is right but turns out to be wrong? Do you apologize for the wrong answer, delete you answer, or something else? Thanks in advance

if i turns out to be completley wrong the i'd most likely delete it. if it has a small mistake then i'd either edit it or leave it
but if i think it could be wrong then before submittin the answer, i would say that it might be wrong so people know in advance and dont mock my answer lol

I delete my account because i don't want to look like a complete idiot. Who gives wrong answers unintentionally, i mean come on. Lol, nah just leave it up. It's no big deal, thats why a best answer is chosen.

if the question is still open, edit your answer.
you can only delete answers as long as the question is still open. once a question is in 'voting' or resolved, Y!A owns the question & all of the answers.

i would answer again, apologize, and say the correct answer (if you know it) or just delete it
