can i delete some of my questions on yahoo answers?

YES. But, you can only delete Open Questions. These are questions that are still open for new answers, not yet expired and/or has a Best Answer.

OPEN QUESTIONS

- Go to the question page.

- Hover to Edit.

- Click "Delete Question".

IN VOTING OR RESOLVED QUESTIONS

- You cannot delete them.

In Voting Questions are the questions you weren't able to choose a Best Answer. It means that it will be open for voting and the voters will decide which one is the Best Answer. Whoever gets the most votes will be picked as best.

Resolved Questions are the questions that have already a Best Answer. It means that you or the voters have already picked an answer as the Best Answer.

Yes, you can delete your own questions.

BUT only if they have not been resolved (that is; a best answer has been chosen or voted on).

Once a question has been closed, the only way to have it deleted is if it's reported as being in violation of rules - Yahoo then deletes it.

If your question is still open to answers, these are the steps to delete it:

Go to your profile (My Profile is found on all Answer's pages towards the top on the right hand side - a green button).

There (half way down) you will find a large box with four green tabs:

My Answers....My Questions....My Starred Questions....My Watchlist

> Click on the My Questions Tab

(You will see a list of all the ones you have posted)

Below your question you will see:

Interesting ..... Email ..... Edit

Hold your cursor over "Edit"

> Click on "Delete Question" from the drop-down menu.

You will get a prompt about deleting the question

> Click on OK or cancel (should you change your mind)

You can delete your questions from here

only if they are open

To delete open questions of yours

1. on the action bar

there is a pencil icon

2 click on the word edit

3 choose delete questions

4 the question is gone

If the questions are in voting or resolved

they can't be deleted

they belong to yahoo answers

on their property

and yahoo answers uses the resolved ones

for their data base.

Yeah, you can delete them. Just go the question on the toolbar beneath the question there is a bar called edit. Press it and a screen will pop up with the option of deleting your question. You can not delete after it has already been resolved.

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.

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".

But you can set your profile to private to prevent other users reading them. Here's how:

Go to your profile, click "edit my info", scroll down to "privacy", under "Yahoo! Answers Network" mark both "on my public profile, hide my Q&A from people not in my Answers Network" and "on my public profile, hide my Answers Network from people who are not in it". Note: if you mark "allow other Answers users to be my fan", you may get fans and they will then be able to read all your Q&A. So either don't allow this or check regularly, who has added you as their contact.

Resolved questions can not be deleted!

TOP CONTRIBUTOR

Being a top contributor has nothing to do with how many points you have. You can go to a category that you know alot about. Get at least 40 best answers in a month. They hand out TC badges (the orange badge under my avatar) on Mondays only. They can take it away if you don't continue to get best answers in that category. You need 10% or more of best answers in that category (rumored).

You don't loose a point when you get a thumbs down.

STARRING

You can simply star someone's question by just clicking on the star that says "Interesting". To unstar it just click it again.
