Report it with another account.

According to the terms of service, once a question is resolved it becomes the property of Yahoo and the only way to delete it is if the community reported it and has it removed. By the way, that doesn't cost points.

You can only delete questions that you asked, and you can only do that while they are still 'open'. Once a question is in 'voting' or has been resolved via a Best Answer being chosen, the question belongs to Y!A and is in their database forever (or until they start archiving old Q&As anyway).
To delete your question while it's still open, go to the question page, pass your mouse over the pencil icon in the toolbar below your question, and click Delete Question.

I've noticed that they remove the delete option after your question has been up awhile and is either in voting or is resolved, so I don't think there is a way unless you can contact Yahoo and get them to do it for you.

You can't delete resolved questions. You can delete unresolved questions.
