how can i delete a question i never chose a 'best answer' for?

If the question is still OPEN - you have this option...

But since ALL of your other questions have been Resolved - you no longer have a choice!

By NOT picking a Best Answer before your question expired - it AUTOMATICALLY gets put to a Vote. As soon as that happens (or when you pick Best Answer), the question becomes PROPERTY OF YAHOO - and you lose the ability to delete it.

THIS is why YOU should pick a Best Answer yourself - plus, you also get 3 points back (from the 5 they took from you) by doing this. CONTROLLING the Best Answer AND getting points to do so - can't go wrong there ;);););)

You can only delete questions that you asked or answers that you've given BEFORE the question is resolved OR put into voting. If a "best answer" has been chosen or it's "in voting" then only Yahoo can delete them. To delete an answer before the question is in voting or resolved, people just click the "delete" word that appears in small type right under their answer.

To delete a question, you click on the toolbar below the question on the pencil icon. However, you lost 5 pts. when you asked the question and you don't get the 5 pts. back.

You delete on answers by clicking back on the question that you answered, scrolling down to your answer and clicking the “delete” link that shows under your answer with other options such as “Edit.”

However, if you choose a "best answer" then you get 3 pts. back. And, sorry, I don't know a way to “clean up” your Q&A. You can add information, such as explaining what you meant if you had typos by adding a comment to a resolved question, but you can't delete. To add information, again, you click on the pencil icon (if it's not resolved) or click on the word comments under the answer if it's resolved.

ONCE A QUESTION IS IN VOTING OR RESOLVED, only Yahoo can delete the question or answers and, generally, they only delete something for a violation of the rules. You're stuck with it in your profile. Unfortunately, Yahoo doesn't warn you about that (or that anyone can come read what you've said) when you sign up.

It's possible to make your profile “private” by going to your profile, clicking “Edit My Info” then selecting the option that says nobody can see your questions and answers but, unfortunately, your contacts and fans can STILL see your profile that way.

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.

Just go to the question and the delete option should be there

you can only delete your questions while they are still 'open'. once they are in 'voting' or 'resolved' status, they belong to YA and cannot be deleted.
