    Hello, C d.o.t

    Sorry, but you can NOT delete it once it has been RESOLVED or UNDECIDED (IN-VOTING). It NOW belongs to Yahoo! The only way to remove it is the community has to report it & if you have enough reports to it, it will be removed from the Yahoo! database and deleted. Other than that, you can NOT delete it yourself. You can ONLY delete OPEN questions. Best wishes & Hope it helps!

    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.

    To delete an open question go to your profile, go to "my questions". Click on the question you wish to delete, underneath it click "+", then click "delete question".

    You can only delete open question or answers, if they have gone to the vote or resolved they cannot be removed.

    The questions and answers stay in yahoo archive available for searching and browsing. only yahoo can delete them.

    If the Question/answer is still open scroll down to Pencil Icon and click> select delete question.

  • You can't delete the old questions once they have been in your list for a very long time. YA keeps them in your list as a progress for you and to see how active you been on YA.
