Edit/Remove a question on Yahoo Answers?

My boyfriend asked a question here on Yahoo Answers, but he didn't notice that I was signed in instead of him. As a result, "I" asked a stupid question that was misspelled and poorly punctuated. Anyway, I'd like to edit or just remove the question, but can't figure out how. Is it not possible, or am I just not seeing how? Thanks in advance.

    If the question is still OPEN then go to it >>>> click the 'blue pencil icon' below the question >>> click 'delete question' on the drop down menu.

    if the question is IN VOTING or is RESOLVED then these questions are now the property of Yahoo! and cannot be deleted by you. the only way these questions will be deleted is if Yahoo! find them to be in violation of the community guidelines.

    Yes you can go to edit in the question and delete it. You will loose the points for asking and for removing it. I have done so when I read responses and realized I had phrased the question wrong and persons could be offended.

    Have a great day.

    There is a toolbar under the question, click on the EDIT option and there will be both a Delete Question and Edit question, click on any one

    If the question remains open, you could upload TO or DELETE the question employing the 'Edit' function (pencil icon) interior the bar under the question. you could no longer, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, exchange the question because it became published. If the question is resolved or in balloting, you at the instant can't do something in any respect to the question, consisting of deleting it.
