How to delete your question

Question

How to delete your question in this dialogue box, as I am new to this - unable to find solution. My email box is receiving lots of mails......

I have fixed your title and post in order to illustrate the correct way in which posts should be submitted. - Gekkosan, Aug 19, 2010

Dabrallav, since this is a learning site, one of our requirements is that correct spelling, grammar, capitalization and punctuation are used in all posts. Only administrators may delete questions. You may send a private message to one of them with your request.

You may locate the administrators here.

I like that style of correction, but I am not so sure we should do it in the Caption ... especially since it rewards posts by the attention. - LateToDinner, Aug 19, 2010

I would really like to remove the asterisks that show up, but I defer to your judgement Gekkosan. - LateToDinner, Aug 19, 2010

Thanks. I agree with your observation and have removed the asterisks. - Gekkosan, Aug 19, 2010

Answer 2

Welcome to the site Dab. Yes, it can be a little overwhelming at times.

You can't delete your question, you can only edit it. One time I considered erasing one of my posts that was so misunderstood as to cause hard feelings. I found out later how easy it is to Edit. By then it was too late, but I wanted to change it to simply "My apologies, I wish everyone a good day!'

But you can cut back on the email traffic by deselecting the little box that says watch this question.

De-selecting? - fontanero, Aug 19, 2010

Thanks Fontanero, without the hyphen that works ... but I favored un-selecting, I thought it made the point better. English! - LateToDinner, Aug 20, 2010
