    Once your question is answers you can not delete it. To delete it before it gets answered click, "edit answer" and delete.

    You can only delete a question if it does not have any answers. You do this by clicking on the blue Edit tab and select Delete. Once someone answers a question the delete option is removed. This is Yahoo way of stopping users from changing a question after it has been answered. You could always make your username anonymous if you do not want to be associated with the question.

    Same as every time this question gets posted every day. Once it has an answer you can't.

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers has no answers yet, you can just go into your question and select Edit>Delete. (make sure your mobile device is in desktop mode, if using a mobile)

    IF your question on Yahoo Answers DOES have ANY answers, it cannot be deleted. The only way to get it removed if it has answers from others, from that point on, is to have enough accounts report it as a violation, so the system removes it from the display. You cannot edit or change the info you posted, either. All you can do is add updates to clarify it, or make yourself Anonymous (Edit>Post as Anonymous) to hide your identity.

    This is probably the single most asked question, over time, in the Yahoo Answers subcategory. You can save points and time in the future, by doing a search at the top of the page (type in your question or keywords and press "Search Answers"), to see if the question you have has already been asked/answered. How to delete questions has been asked/answered literally thousands of times since the site was created.

    You can only delete them if they have no answers. Click on 'Edit' beside your question and then delete it.

    Click on the edit button, and then in the drop down menu there is a delete option for you to click on. Note that you can only do this if your question doesn't have answers yet.

    You cannot delete your question if it has already gone to a vote or if it has been resolved. To delete your question while it's still open, go to the question page, hover your mouse over/click the pencil icon in the toolbar below your question, and click Delete Question.
