    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).

    You can also email Yahoo Customer services at y_answers_team@yahoo.com or y_answrs_team@yahoo.com and ask for them to delete the question for you. In your email include the link to the question you want deleted, explain why you want it deleted and ask them to delete it for you

    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 on Delete Question.

    You can't "clean up" the items under your My Questions & My Answers tabs. You can make your profile private though.

    First off, you are only able to delete questions that you asked here on this site, and you cannot delete any of your questions that have already been resolved or are currently in voting.

    -->Next, if you have any open questions that you would like to delete, you first need to click on the link that says "My Activity" on the top of your screen.

    -->After your profile has loaded, scroll down the page until you find a window with 4 different tabs on it that read: "My Answers", "My Questions", "My Starred Questions", and "My Watchlist". When you find this window, click on the "My Questions" tab and then click on the "View more" option that appears towards the bottom of the screen to show a good portion of the questions that you have asked.

    -->After you have done this, look for the open question of yours that you want to delete and click on the questions' hyperlink (the blue text) to get the question to load.

    --->After your question has loaded, to delete the question, look undernearth the question part of the question (but above where the answers start) and look for a button that has a pencil near it. It should read edit. Once you find this tab, move your move over this tab and several more options should appear.

    --->One of the options that should appear is the option entitled "Delete your question". Click on this option and a confirmation window will appear that will ask you whether or not you really want to delete your question. If you want to delete your question, click the OK button, and the question will be removed from Yahoo Answers and you will be returned to the Yahoo Answers Homepage.

    If the question is already resolved, then only Yahoo Answers staff members can delete it, and only then as a violation of the Community Guidelines. It does not cost you any points to delete your question. Deleting your answers removes two points from your account (the two points that were added by answering the question, and makes it so that you are unable to answer that question again.

    Hope this helps :)

  • If it is still an open question, you can go to your question and choose "edit" then "delete". If the question already resolved, then you can not delete it and it stays online until yahoo decides to delete it.
