How the heck do I clean out or delete things from my Q&A here?
I just wanna get rid of old Q's & A's. I've gotten all I need from most of them & I want to clean things up. Also I asked some dumb questions & I'm sick of having to look at them everyday! Hey! I'm new at this!
Wow! Out of 8 answers already, I got at least 5 that want to know the same thing, Some said you can't do it & your lists just go on & on. What's up with that? We can't manage our own Q&A's? Or manage an organized page (ours!) by keeping it clean of unwanted & old info? Jeez....

At the moment you can't delete questions you have resolved. I have seen so many questions on this topic, and replies from Yahoo! that have said they're looking into ways to better organise questions and answers.

You can delete questions or answers only up to the time the question is resolved or until it goes into voting. After that, it's out of your hands. Look at the question histories of people in the upper levels and you'll see they go on forever. OK, not really forever, but for pages and pages.
PS If you delete your question, you don't get your points back. If you delete your answer, they take away the two points you got for the answer.

I too wish I could delete past questions/answers that I regret posting. Sadly, I do not think this feature is available. You could try emailing the YA tech team and asking them to add ths feature.
